The fire for the Olympic Games in Paris is burning! But just three weeks before the major event, the mood is low. Cyber-attacks, riots, haggling over the Israeli athletes and the completely polluted Seine are causing the Parisians great concern. Krone+ knows more.

Paris is hosting the Olympic Games for the third time after 1900 and 1924. From July 26 to August 11, 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will be competing in 32 sports in the French capital. Ten million visitors are expected. However, the gigantic sports festival is not under a good star, with background noise overshadowing the festivities.
