It's been a month since the Paris Olympics wrapped up, and I'm still feeling that post-Olympics emptiness. So, I decided to dive into various reports and analyses to reassess the event's successes and shortcomings.
Here are five things that were expected, based on popular blogs and news articles:
- Effective implementation of the Olympic Channel's "NextGen" broadcasting strategy.
- Sustainable and eco-friendly: Paris promised a "climate-positive" Games, with innovative green solutions.
- Enhanced security measures utilizing AI-powered surveillance systems.
- Increased representation of refugee athletes and teams.
- Cultural celebrations: Paris would showcase its rich cultural heritage.
However, as for my POV, some expectations were not met:
- Limited adoption of innovative Para-sports technology, which didn't quite live up to its potential.
- Insufficient attention to athlete mental health, a growing concern in the sports community.
- The Olympic Village experience was underwhelming for some athletes and visitors.
Again, these are what I believe were not met and are not intended to hurt any sentiments. What were some expectations that didn't quite live up to your hype?

Made me think about how the Olympics could leverage technology to create more immersive experiences for athletes and spectators alike. Virtual and augmented reality, anyone?
btw OP u need to move on lol
the post-Olympics blues are real! i was really looking forward to the eco-friendly initiatives, but I felt like some of the promised green solutions didn’t get as much visibility as they should have. there were talks about zero waste and carbon neutrality, but I didn’t see many specific examples during the Games. I second the point about athlete mental health as well. it seems like there was a missed opportunity to provide better support and resources.
