The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have come to a close, and while countless athletes shined, the games' organizers brought shame to this global event.

Ominous signs began even before the opening night of the games. The opening ceremony's creators told French media in July that their show would be an anti-"Puy-du-Fou." Puy-du-Fou is a popular French theme park in the more conservative Vendée region with spectacular shows that celebrate French history, culture, and religion. Why would the creators want to make the opposite of that?

Then in the days before the opening ceremony, a drag queen with a ridiculous wig, fake breasts, and clown makeup took the torch in Paris.

They give the Olympic flame to a man and a man dressed as a woman. Instead of choosing a real woman, they chose a man with a bunch of clown makeup and a wig.

It all went downhill from there.

The awful opening ceremony included, among other things, a drag queen representation of the Last Supper. The grotesque mockery of France’s Catholic heritage that transformed into a bizarre Dionysian feast with a blue Smurf-like man as the center of the meal.

The following night, numerous regions of Paris fell into an unexpected blackout. An area of the city with the stunning Basilica of the Sacred Heart remained lit, creating a beautiful image of the church’s light against the city’s darkness. Many on Twitter saw it as a sign.

After the opening debauchery, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) continued to insult athletes and spectators by allowing two allegedly biological men, Algeria’s Imane Khelif (middleweight) and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting (featherweight), to compete against biological females in women’s boxing.

The world saw the heartbroken face of Italy's Angela Carini after she forfeited her match against Khelif to "save her life." Khelif then inappropriately patted Carini's breasts in the ring after he was announced the winner.

Some of the female boxers registered their dissent against the IOC’s despicable decision to allow the alleged men to compete against women. Hungarian boxer Anna Luca Hamori shared a picture of a horned beast in the ring on her Instagram before fighting Khelif. Turkey’s Esra Yildiz Kahraman and Bulgaria’s Svetlana Kamenova Staneva made the XX symbol after their matches with Yu-Ting to signify the importance of female chromosomes.

In the end -- surprise -- the two allegedly biological men defeated their female opponents and won gold medals in their divisions. Khelif’s coach carried him over his shoulders for the camera.

No woman in muslim society will ever be allowed to pose like Imane Khelif.

What is so special about Imane Khelif that "she" is allowed to sit on shoulders of non-Mahram men? pic.twitter.com/Xgfct5AJ5e

The boxing catastrophe was not the only insult faced by Olympic athletes. For crazy climate change reasons, the IOC attempted to deprive international competitors of necessary protein by providing them with mostly vegan meals. They did so to lower the games’ “carbon footprint.”

Only after multiple teams protested, with some bringing in their own meat sources, did Olympics organizers relent and up the animal protein available to athletes.

Notably, one of the athletes not at this year’s games was the WNBA’s Caitlin Clark. Despite being the best female basketball player in the United States, she was not asked to join this year’s Olympic team, presumably for committing the cardinal sin of being straight, white and openly Christian. That is the trifecta of "diversity" demerits in women's basketball.

Brittney Griner did participate on the U.S. women’s basketball team. She cried tears of joy during the U.S. national anthem. Time in a Russian prison will drive anti-American wokeness out of even the most hardline leftist.

It's sad that the organizers of the games ruined so much of what should have been a joyous celebration of human accomplishments. Great athletes acquitted themselves with grace and class and gave the world wonderful moments of sportsmanship. 

They deserved better than the vulgarity and humiliations with which the organizers dishonored the Olympics this summer.
