The final week of the XXXIII Summer Olympic Games in France has been marred by scandals, according to Report, which cites Haber Global.
In a shocking turn of events, 18-year-old Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosa, who had initially won the bronze medal, was stripped of her prize at the last moment. American coaches protested the results, leading to the bronze medal being awarded to American athlete Jordan Chiles instead.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Ana Barbosa dropped her country's flag and couldn't hold back her tears. This incident sparked outrage in Romania, with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu publicly declaring the decision a blow to the dignity of athletes. In protest, he announced that he would not attend the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris.
In another story, Haber Global reports that the Olympic Games in Paris were remembered more for their shortcomings than for their successes. According to journalists, one of the main problems was the pollution of the Seine River.
