Have fun with this little reminder of the previous photo record in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, which Thomas Bach has never visited since (you know why, if you don't know you should ask Pat & Carlos). We'll see what's brewing in Paris. We will be following God closely during the Olympic Games - although we will be denied access to the IOC hotel. God doesn't like to be disturbed.

Back in Rio, it almost seemed as if the Olympic Games were a one-man show from the point of view of the IOC propaganda directors Mark Adams and Christian Klaue, who both earn much more than two million dollars in the Olympic cycle (i.e. more than all Olympic champions receive from the IOC). Bach's personal photographer Ian Jones probably took all of these photos at the time (there are even more, much much much more, this small selection will suffice for today). So: All credits to IOC and Ian Jones.
