The Paris 2024 Olympic Games kicked off with a spectacular opening ceremony that has drawn both praise and criticism. The event, held on July 26, showcased a blend of artistic performances, including a controversial scene that some likened to a parody of 'The Last Supper'. Organizers of the Games have expressed regret over any offense caused, emphasizing their intention to celebrate community and tolerance.
The ceremony featured a mysterious masked character performing acrobatics across the rooftops of Paris, igniting curiosity among viewers about his identity. Spectators speculated that the performer was Simon Nogueira, a well-known French freerunner, who later confirmed his involvement along with several other artists. Nogueira's performance resonated with fans of the video game 'Assassin's Creed', highlighting the intersection of sport and entertainment at the Olympic event.
