Paris Olympics Is the chef in the athletes’ village trying to avoid responsibility？ “The athletes don’t eat like we do，” and “I was surprised that someone was eating all day long．”
“Concerning the environment is like a punishment for the players. I want to eat meat, and I need it to perform well in sports. “Why are they forced to do this?” (Adam Peaty, British men’s swimming) “The quality of the food is awful, to say the least.” (Christopher Ruhl, German men’s hockey team) “The food in the cafeteria is not tasty.” (Hesley Rivera, US women’s gymnastics) These are just a few of the complaints from athletes about the food being served in the athletes’ village at the Paris Olympics, which are drawing to a close. In addition to these, all sorts of opinions are being expressed through social media and the media, but the reality is that most of them are negative. In an interview with the French newspaper Figaro, Akram Benallal, chef at the athletes’ village, said, “First of all, the athletes don’t eat the same food as us. That’s why consideration was necessary,” he said. He then pointed out that the French catering company Sodexo Live!, which provided the food, had made improvements to the food menu etc. in response to the criticism, and emphasized that “with any experiment, adjustments must first be made.” “Everything needs to be adjusted,” said Benamel, who added, “They need about 900g of protein. Because I’ve been exercising all day. So, someone is eating all day long, from morning to night. “It certainly surprised us,” he said. For more and the full story, see the source.
>>1 Are they going to experiment with players from abroad? They should experiment with players from their own country beforehand. Also, this isn’t just a matter of adjustment.
>>8 Because they were brought in from all over the world Until 1533, even the royal palace was hand-holding them and didn’t care about the common people.
Of course, before the competition they’ll be counting backwards from the start time, and of course they’ll eat after the competition is over, so they’ll go out to eat whether it’s 5 o’clock, 10 o’clock, 3 o’clock, or 9 o’clock.
>>17 If the evaluation is on the level of a French tire shop, then of course Tokyo and Japan would be full of stars And it would be a shame if people died fighting for stars.
>>30 So true. I can’t really defend the opening and closing ceremonies, but I think they did a good job with everything else. The food is especially important.
Perhaps Japanese people should at least learn a little from the French national character, which is self-centered and lacks consideration for others, at least in peacetime.
It seems that Olympic know-how is not shared at all. It’s a war after all, and they don’t want athletes from other countries to succeed, so they quietly interfere. Especially white people.
