Will the Summer Olympic Games die?

Good question! I have largely boycotted watching the Summer Olympic Games 2024

The Summer Olympic Games certainly suffer from:

1. Russia was banned from the Summer Olympic Games 2024
2. How attractive is the business proposition or image gain from hosting these games? And what are the total costs to a host country?
3. New dubious sports are being introduced (e.g. break dance, a dance style popular in the 1980s and mainly in the US). The games are more becoming like a cabaret or variety show!
4. For a long time only or mostly amateur athletes were allowed until 1988, when all professional athletes (benefiting highly paid athletes like tennis or basketball stars) became eligible to compete. I don't think this was a great idea and greatly hurt the idea of the Olympic Games.
5. The Summer Olympic Games 2024 made male transgender or genetic tomboy boxers to become a public controversy. Neither the IOC nor the ITA bothered to release any relevant comments or statements. It appears that the Algerian boxer did not bother to release a public statement about her. Both controversial boxers also competed as women in the Summer Olympic Games 2020 in Tokyo.
6. Children athletes are also allowed to compete like this time a 12 year old girl and a 16 year old boy.
7. The dirty Seine river in Paris was almost compulsively or pathologically turned into a venue and staging area for the opening ceremony???
8. The Olympic Village in Paris had to be net zero and green????

"... “If we don’t get young people playing sport, we won’t be here for very much longer,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said at a press conference last week. “We have to attract young audiences and go where they are… we have to attract young people to sport or we are dead, basically.” ..."
