  5. Eiffel Tower to Remain Adorned with Olympic Rings After Paris Games

Eiffel Tower to Remain Adorned with Olympic Rings After Paris Games

ai generated text

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.

    1. I'm delighted that the French have fallen in love with Paris again, after 10 years of bashing and telling us that it [the Olympic Games] was going to be hell.
    2. So yes, they [the rings] will stay on the Eiffel Tower.
    3. As mayor of Paris, the decision is mine.
    4. As mayor of Paris, the decision is up to me and I have the agreement of the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
    5. I want the spirit of celebration to remain.

    1. But the Eiffel Tower is not intended as an advertising platform. Anne Hidalgo should surely have said that she wanted to keep the Olympic rings and asked for the opinion of the Paris city council and other competent people, not that she had decided to do so.
    2. Let the rings remain for a little longer than the Paralympic Games, why not? We have no problem with that.
