Paris Olympics organisers apologise for opening ceremonys unintentional Last Supper parody Guardian Sport 2024-07-28 | Paris 2024 organisers have apologised to Catholics and Christian groups angered by a kitsch tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony that parodied Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting. Subscribe to Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNSportThe segment, which resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before his crucifixion, featured drag queens and a singer made up as the Greek god of wine, Dionysus.

The creative director of the opening ceremony, Thomas Jolly, said: 'I did not intend to be subversive or to mock or shock … In France we can believe or not believe, in France we have a lot of rights and I wanted to convey those values throughout the ceremony.'

Player annoyed as officials make crazy call for replay after technical malfunction Guardian Sport 2024-08-15 | In a first-round match at the Cincinnati Open between Americans Taylor Fritz and Brandon Nakashima, a malfunction with the Electronic Line Calling (ELC) system showed that even with no line judges and no challenging of calls, things can still go wrong.Subscribe to Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNSportDuring what was ultimately a 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (4) win for Nakashima, he hit a forehand that was comfortably out and would have seen him down 30-40, facing a break point. But no 'out' call came from the ELC. The players therefore carried on, even though Fritz looked up when returning the ball as if to suggest that he knew it was out. He hit a forehand and the rally carried on for a few more shots before 'stop, stop, stop' was heard as a review official acknowledged the error. Fritz was noticeably annoyed when they were told to replay the point due to 'technical error', despite hawk-eye proving that the ball was out.The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
