On July 25, the first day of competition at the Paris Olympics took place overnight and into this morning, starting with men’s football and rugby sevens. After the conclusion of the first day of competition, Paris Olympic Committee President Tony Estanguet stated that he believes the Olympics have had a good start, which is very encouraging.
In an interview with French media Franceinfo, he said, “In sports competitions, you have to know how to get off to a good start, and I think we’ve had a good one.”
“It’s very encouraging for the competitions to come, and we will remain very cautious and focused,” he added. “While there were some moments that caused a few cold sweats, once things were resolved, it was definitely a relief, and the atmosphere here is good. This is the first day of competition, and we need to continue improving and making progress.”
Worth noting is that in last night’s Paris Olympic men’s football group stage match between Argentina and Morocco, Medina’s goal in the 106th minute helped level the score. Subsequently, fireworks were thrown onto the pitch by fans and some even invaded the field, causing a nearly two-hour interruption before officials ruled the goal invalid.
