Olympics 2024 Opening Ceremony, alleged Last Supper scene, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ One, 26 July 2024

Summary of complaint

We’ve received complaints from some people who felt a particular scene featured in the opening ceremony parodied Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'.


Our response

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has no input into the content of the ceremony or in filming the event. Instead, the host national Olympic committee and the International Olympic Committee organise the ceremony and distribute a world feed to broadcasters around the world.

The organisers have since apologised to those who were offended by the scene, which you can read at the following address - /sport/olympics/articles/cw4yqvegkexo
