Team performance wise, not as happy as I was at this point with Tokyo, a bit happier than with Rio and Beijing 2008, but so much happier than with Athens 2004, London 2012 and especially Beijing 2022.

 

:CAN has at worse matched it’s all time gold and overall medal records in non-boycotted games, and Andre de Grasse just became a real Canadian sporting legend. I can (and in the heat of the moment do!) complain, but I know that when I have a little bit of hindsight I’ll be really happy with how Canada did these Olympics.

 

More generally, and not looking as closely at team Canada specifically, I think these Olympics aren’t as good as London 2012, but it’s generally a strong return to “normal” following the two COVID Olympics.

Portugal has a total of 31 medals in the whole 30 editions of Summer Olympic Games.

 

I was able to witness the number 31 live. 
 

Wish I could go back in time just to say to my younger self, watching his first Olympics of Sydney 2000 and falling in love with the Olympic concept, that 24 years later the dream would become real!

 

So yes, with no doubt, best Olympic Games ever! :d

the French (Parisian) arrogance at the opening ceremony (putting Paris and its lifestyle over the Sport and the Games, not to mention some disrespectful acts), Italy underperforming, the Seine farce, Marseille with no wind to keep up with the schedule in sailing, refs scandals that made me re-evaluate the Seoul 1988 Olympics, men competing against women, all those non-sport activities getting so much recognition on the media, that thing they used to call boxing, the worst tv pictures production ever (with many sports ruined by blatantly incompetent directors)...

 

I just couldn't enjoy these Games at all :cry:

 

the only very positive aspect: the amazing popular participation, all the stadiums/arenas filled as never before also for the early morning prelims

Well final score:

 

Organization: 5-6 

Main problems: Seine sh!tshow (I hope Hidalgo and all the political figures who put their political interests above athlete welfare are happy now that they managed to send at least 10 athletes to hospital courtesy of their grand plan - well this is way less than the number of those sacrificed to build the pyramids they could say)

Olympic village (cannot repeat enough) - it is a good idea to try to do an environmentally friendly OV but not at athletes expense! I bet this whole thing was designed by a number of bureaucrat's or activists with little practical sense and who are not going to stay there anyway.

Special mention to the sh!t food in the Olympic village 

 

Most of the venues/atmosphere: 8-9

Hungary's performance: 7

I agree to you and i added: the food and beds for the athletes, the absence of air-conditioning, what happen with Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce......

 

Like argentinian, i never see what happen with the hostility of the public against our athletes in every single sport (may be the only exception was Torres who wins the gold in BMX freestyle), i didnt see that in any South American, Panamerican or Olympic Games before (including Rio), ok, the french are mad with our football team (is not the same team like Henry says but is the same sport), but with all the rest the same?.

 

I added: the web site is the best i can remember.

 

The argentinian performance: an average olympic one.
