Maybe rename the Olympics? French women are notorious for not using deodorant.

"I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles..."

Should be fun for all. Down wind from the Skonk works.

Maybe if they go full retro and the women compete naked I might watch

Who knew the French were such great stand-up comics?

Yeah this is really going to work. Remember the Paris heatwave in the 90s that killed thousands.

The decision to forego traditional air conditioning is borne of the organizing committee’s desire to make the 2024 Paris Games record-breaking in terms of reducing the event’s carbon footprint.

I think they’re full of crap. If the “carbon footprint” was a problem they’d simply cancel the stupid Olympics.

They’re doing this because they’re too cheap to pay for the electricity to run the AC.

I would prefer a natural scent of a woman, rather than horrible perfumes. At times, using an elevator containing perfumed women was unbearable.

I just left a property in Pearl River , Louisiana and the house was built in the 1800’s NO A/C whatsoever and on the hottest AND humid days that occur here the design itself maintains a very comfortable inside temperature. If you use your brain and build to suit the weather you know you will endure ...well its not rocket science/brain surgery.
