Hold onto your berets, sports fans! IOC President Thomas Bach just dropped a reassuring mic moment amid France’s political rollercoaster 🎢. Despite President Emmanuel Macron’s surprise call for parliamentary elections, Bach declared \\"France is used to holding elections\\" and vowed the Paris 2024 Games will stay on course.
Speaking at a pre-Olympics event, Bach channeled major optimism: \\"Whatever the outcome, political leaders will support the Olympics\\". With less than 50 days to go, organizers are sprinting through final prep like parkour pros 🤸♂️ – think Seine River opening ceremonies and metro upgrades racing against the clock ⏱️.
While Macron’s election gamble could reshape France’s government 🗳️, Bach insists the Olympic torch remains untouchable. \\"This isn’t about left or right – it’s about sport bringing us together,\\" he emphasized, serving ultimate #GamesVibes ahead of the July 26 kickoff.
