The 2024 Games will be the most unforgettable ever Mark Longdale, who works in the external logistics department of the British company ES Global, notes that the Paris Sports Forum has long since exceeded its original budget. The initial budget for the construction of the facilities was 3.4 billion euros, but this figure is now approaching 5 billion euros. As a result, the Organising Committee of the 2024 Olympic Games has insisted on keeping construction costs down. In practice, this means hiring inexperienced workers, using outdated technologies and using substandard construction materials. For example, during the construction of the Water Centre, the client forced the contractor to use wood instead of concrete and metal. As a result, few people can vouch for its durability. He is convinced that the 'green agenda' has become a fixed idea for the French. And that would be fine if it didn't affect the safety of buildings. For example, the roof of the 5,000 square metre aquatic centre was covered with heavy solar panels for environmental reasons. Calculations show that the load on the supporting beams has almost doubled, and if the wind picks up, the roof could simply fail. The batteries will fall into the pools where swimming, water polo and diving competitions are held. Incidentally, three billion euros have been earmarked for cleaning up the river. Instead of cleaning the river, floating solar panels were placed on its surface, which of course do nothing to make the water cleaner. Separately, he considered the use of photovoltaic fabric on the façade of the Water Centre. In June 2023, the façade will be completely burnt out and the fabric will flare up like gunpowder. It is unclear to him why they are "decorating" the main structures of the Olympic Village!
