Eiffel Tower to Remain Adorned with Olympic Rings After Paris Games

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo initially stated that the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower were not intended as a permanent advertising platform, citing the structure's weight as a concern. However, she later announced that the rings will remain on the tower after the summer Games are over, with plans to replace the current heavy rings with lighter ones of the same size. Some Parisians have expressed opposition to the idea, viewing it as a defilement of the iconic monument, while others have supported the decision.
