The Olympic Games and the sports system he created have passed the test of time," IOC chief Thomas Bach told an audience at the Sorbonne University in Paris on Sunday.

Some more deja Vu of the rah rah pap Bach presented to the Japanese public as he was pumping up the Tokyo pandemic fraud fest.

He dead for 100 years but let's cancel him. Today's new generation is stupid beyond belief.

Nobody should listen to that scumbag Bach. This is a man who insisted on holding the Olympics while putting Japanese people's health at risk for his own greed. He's a morally corrupt slimeball.

He added that "society has changed" since the first Olympics organised by de Coubertin in 1890s, adding that "the path of progress and equality is a long one which we must continue to advance along."

So has the IOC. Once it was about participating in amateur sport. Now it's all about the cash and how much their delegates can slurp up from the trough. It should be classed as a criminal organisation.

I wonder if this sleazeball politician Bach will be staying in US$10,000/night rooms again while in Paris - as he did in Tokyo? Pretty sure he will.

paris olympics,as pathetic event as could be.

The saving grace of Paris 2024 is that there will be no serial-doping Russian nor Belarussian teams. Having China will keep the drug testers busy, though.

No. In fact I DO believe they are stupid.
