What Is The Ambiance of the Paris Olympics?

Spread the love

How would I describe the atmosphere of the Olympics?

Think of children in a kindergarten class running outside during their recess.
Add in the raging hormones of teenagers.
Sprinkle in the joy of young people posing and laughing in front of cameras with their teammates and new friends they make.
Overlay those vibes with the vibrant energy of packed stadiums with knowledgeable and madly cheering fans.
Boost with overwhelming patriotic pride from athletes from countries, small to large.
Balance all that with the emotional pressure of performing well and the stress of not living up to your own dreams and unrealistic media expectations.
There are concurrently bright, heartwarming smiles by athletes from all over the world…but also heart wrenching tears pouring down the cheeks of young newcomers and veterans alike.
There are countless expressions of profound joy and self-satisfaction of standing on the podium, but there are also so many examples of extreme frustration of being disqualified or facing the disappointment of a poor performance.

The ancient Greeks got it right.

“to educate, enthuse, and entertain all those who venture beyond the shoreline“
