Who else here on this board thought of Paris 2024 particularly fondly (or melancholically) during the past few days? It was a comparatively carefree time - and it is good that we enjoyed it while we could. The Olympic and Paralympic summer is gone, the autumn storms have arrived. France has a new government mired in controversy. The US will get a new government soon that does not live by Olympic ideals. And in Germany, the government collapsed with snap elections to come shortly before or after Trump's inauguration. Ukraine is facing a dire or even threatening situation as soon as Trump takes office and might feel tempted to tell Putin to "do whatever the hell he wants". It reminds us that Olympic and Paralympic Games are only an illusion, but a beautiful one - that humanity can live in harmony and peace, at least for a while.
