The Paris 2024 Olympic Games aim to be the maximum expression of equality and any comments or incidents that may occur are examined down to the millimeter. Eurosport has criticised one of its most experienced swimming commentators for some sexist remarks made during the English broadcast of the gold medal won by Australian swimmers in the 4x100m freestyle. The commentator wanted to make a joke that would cost him his position while collecting the medals: “You know how women walk around, wearing make-up.” This comment did not go unnoticed on social networks and provoked a wave of criticism towards him, which led the sports channel to remove the journalist from its list of commentators “with immediate effect”, as it stated in a statement.
