Paris 2024 - an unforgettable event and a triumph of sport

The 2024 Olympics in Paris ended on Sunday and exceeded expectations in an impressive way. Sports fans experienced extraordinary achievements and emotional moments, while Paris proved to be an excellent host and offered a first -class organization.

Nevertheless, from a German perspective, there are also some disappointments. The medal yield remained behind the results of Tokyo 2021 and the downward trend that had existed for some time. Even if there were some great and surprising successes, such as winning the 3 × 3 basketball gold medal of women, we have to carry out an honest and open analysis of the situation of top German sports without blinkers.

It is of crucial importance to check the funding principles and to eliminate the bureaucratic hurdles that are criticized by many specialist associations. In this context, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the German Olympic Sports Association should answer critical questions. In addition, the Federal Government should present its announced sports funding law as quickly as possible in order to offer top German athletes and top athletes. This is the only way to be successful again.

The Olympic Games are not just a sporting event. They spark enthusiasm far beyond sport and also have a dynamic influence on the community. They promote cohesion and strengthen national awareness. The games are a moment of pride and unity for the host country and offer a platform for cultures and nations to present and exchange ideas.

Paris 2024 is an outstanding example of how sport and the Olympic spirit can combine the world. It led to new friendships, inspired young athletes and created memories for a lifetime.

With the Paralympics that start on August 27, there is another exciting sporting event. We hope that this event will be just as impressive and continue to celebrate the Olympic spirit and the extraordinary achievements that the Paralympics are characterized.

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics showed that sport has a unique strength to combine and inspire the world. They are a symbol of hope, passion and the tireless will to overcome obstacles.
