① The Paris Olympics is about to open. What kind of event will it be like?

Xinhua Agency, Paris, July 25 (Reporters Li Dian and Lu Xianting) The 33rd Summer Olympic Games will open in Paris, France on the 26th (early morning of the 27th Beijing time).

After a hundred years, Paris held hands with the Summer Olympics for the third time. Romantic French people will hold the Olympic opening ceremony on the Seine River, the first time in modern Olympic history that the opening ceremony will be held in an open urban space.

International Olympic Committee President Bach said that all work is ready. "We have an organizing committee that is always in shape and never ignores any challenges, which gives us more confidence to look forward to this Olympic Games." Bach said,"These challenges are often encountered in preparing for the world's most complex events."

Bach pointed out that as the first Olympic Games to implement the Olympic Reform Roadmap "Olympic Agenda 2020" from beginning to end, the Paris Olympics is "younger, more inclusive, more urbanized and more sustainable", which is in line with this Olympic Games. The slogan "Olympics are more open" fully matches.

Compared with the Tokyo Olympics, the 2024 Paris Olympics will be reduced in scale, and the total number of events will be reduced by 10, with a total of 32 major events and 329 minor events. However, in terms of small events, the number of mixed events will increase from 18 in the Tokyo Olympics to 22, while the Paris Olympics will achieve 50% of male and female athletes for the first time.

At the Paris Olympics, break dancing will appear in the Olympic arena for the first time, and skateboarding, rock climbing, surfing and other events that debuted at the Tokyo Olympics will continue to showcase the style of young people in the Olympic arena.

The Chinese sports delegation at the Paris Olympics will participate in competitions in 30 major events, 42 sub-items and 236 sub-events. This is also the Olympic Games in which the Chinese sports delegation has the largest number of sub-events participating abroad. Those who will serve as flag bearers at the opening ceremony will be table tennis player Ma Long and synchronized swimmer Feng Yu.

At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation ranked second in the gold medal standings and medal standings with 38 golds, 32 silvers and 19 bronzes, totaling 89 medals.

② World Swimming Federation:Food contamination incident involving Chinese athletes will not be re-investigated without evidence

Xinhua Agency, Paris, July 25 (Reporters Liu Yang, Zhou Xin, Xia Liang) The World Swimming Federation said at a press conference on the 25th that it will not re-investigate the food contamination incident of Chinese athletes without other conclusive and credible evidence.

World Swimming Federation President Hussein Al-Mussalam said at the press conference that since 2024, the World Swimming Federation has commissioned the International Testing Agency (ITA) to conduct more than 4000 anti-doping tests, and no positive cases have been found in the more than 3000 tests.

"The World Swimming Federation did all the work it was supposed to do and followed all the rules. We have an independent anti-doping review committee that has released a detailed investigation report." Al-Musalam said.

After interviewing more than 20 relevant people and reviewing hundreds of pages of documents, the World Swimming Federation Anti-Doping Review Committee released an investigation report on July 15, which involved food contamination incidents involving 23 Chinese swimmers in 2021. The report explains the World Swimming Federation's anti-doping work process in this incident and believes that there are no violations.

World Swimming Federation Executive Director Brent Nowitzki said:"International testing agencies have promised us that if there is conclusive and credible new evidence, they will restart the investigation process. But to this day, we have not received any such evidence.

We know that the international testing agency is in contact with the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee, and they are taking this matter seriously."

Al-Musalam said:"We are confident in everything the World Swimming Federation does to ensure that every athlete participating in the Olympics is tested for doping.

From the beginning of this year to the present, some athletes have been tested more than 20 times to ensure fair competition among athletes."

According to statistics from the Chinese swimming team, from May 5, when the Chinese swimming team trained for the Paris Olympics to July 22, Chinese athletes underwent intensive international and domestic anti-doping inspections, including urine tests and blood tests. Zhang Yufei, Qin Haiyang, Wang Shun, Yu Yiting, Yang Junxuan and Liu Yaxin have undergone more than 25 tests. Most other athletes have undergone more than 20 tests. Tang Qianting, Sun Jiajun and Dong Zhihao have undergone nearly 20 tests. From the time the swimming team arrived in Deauville, France for training on July 6 to July 22, Zhang Yufei, Qin Haiyang, Wang Shun, Li Bingjie and others also received more than 10 "key attention".

Al-Musalam said that the World Swimming Federation is working hard to improve the anti-doping work system and make it more modern. "We have a clear division of labor, have done a lot of work, and have also seen the recommendations given by the Anti-Doping Review Committee. Next, we will work hard to improve the competition environment, attract more athletes to participate, and gain (their) trust."

Faced with Western media accusations of smearing the Chinese swimming team, Al-Mussalam responded:"In the future, we must focus on educating athletes, coaches, officials and everyone, including everyone here. No one knows more than anyone else. We should know that what we need to do for the future is the most dangerous thing to do nothing."

"Trust requires a process, and we need to view this process objectively, independently and realistically. The Anti-Doping Review Board has made recommendations in its report, which is the starting point for us to gain the trust of athletes, and (the recommendations) have also begun to be implemented." Nowitzki said.
