Paris Olympics Highlight Humor and Controversy

News summary

Athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics are using kinesiology tape for injury prevention and enhanced performance, a practice popularized by Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase. A notable moment at the Games involved South Korean gymnast Yeo Seo-jeong and North Korean gymnast An Chang-ok, whose cold interaction highlighted ongoing inter-Korean tensions. The Paris Olympics also saw humor and controversy in athlete names, with instances like German rower Julius Christ and Canadian swimmer Mary-Sophie Harvey paired next to America's Claire Weinstein, causing hilarious social media reactions. Additionally, the history of Olympic controversies was revisited, such as the 1988 'Dirtiest Race in History' where Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal for doping. The inclusion of breakdancing and the discontinuation of odd past events like tug-of-war and rope climbing reflect the evolving nature of the Games.
