It's like swimming in the thames. Why did they double down on this??
Because swimming in the Seine and running up the Champs-lyses is an iconic spectacle for competitors and the audience. Running around a reservoir in the middle of nowhere isn't quite the same.

A large part of the appeal of the Olympics is seeing the sport take place in the host city: beach volleyball at the Eiffel Tower, equestrian events at Versailles, etc.

Yup, that works if you forget the surfing in Tahiti; sadly that still makes Paris 2024 the Olympics with the most distance between venues.

They made 300,000 special Olympic themed condoms for the athletes. That's 20 each.

There's plenty of horny going on.

France has had this problem for aong time, but their government just kept ignoring it. Let's see them continue to ignore it if more athletes get sick.

They come from too far away and use too much water. These games will be known as the ones where athletes underperform because they are tired, hungry, hot, and horny.
