The Paris Olympics are really "relaxed".
Since the opening ceremony, there have been a lot of moths, and after the official start of the competition, there have been a lot of complaints, some complaining that there is nothing to eat in the Olympic canteen, and some complaining that the Olympic bus is hot and unpunctual.
Now there is a new problem, and some athletes have called the police to say that they have been stolen in the Olympic Village.
According to France media reports on the 29th, the Japanese men's rugby sevens player participating in the Paris Olympics suffered a theft in the Olympic Village and reported to the local police on the 28th.
According to the contestants, when they returned from the trip, they found that the 3,000 euros (about 21,000 yuan) placed in the bedroom were missing, along with the necklace and the most important wedding ring.
After investigation, the local police found that there was no sign of forced entry into their bedrooms between the 19th and 21st days when the players claimed to have been stolen.
The current Japan men's rugby sevens team has lost all three games in the group stage, missing out on qualifying from the group, and is finally ranked last among all 12 teams. In other words, they have completed all the competitions in this Olympic Games and are ready to go home.
The Japan Olympic Committee (JOC) responded to the theft of athletes only by telling athletes and staff to take good care of their valuables.
A total of 14,000 people are currently living in the Olympic Village, including about 9,000 athletes and 5,000 coaches. Not only the Japan team, but also many athletes in the Olympic Village have suffered thefts.
The Argentina Olympic team was also stolen, and during the pre-match training against Morocco, Argentina player Almada lost watches, rings and other belongings, worth 50,000 euros (about 400,000 yuan) together.
Argentina immediately reported the case to the local police, and the police said after investigation that there was no trace of forced entry, speculating that it was either an insider or a habitual offender.
Argentina coach Mascherano said: "We arrived at the training ground and were stolen, this is the Olympics! We don't want to say anything after training, that's it, we don't expect anything good, but we don't want to be teased like that either."
And the bizarre encounter of the Argentina team in the Olympics was not only stolen, they also suffered the first "oolong incident" of this Olympic Games.
In Argentina's 2-1 defeat to Morocco, after Argentina scored an equaliser in stoppage time, Morocco fans broke into the stadium and threw firecrackers in protest, and the scene was quite chaotic. Two hours after the game was interrupted, the players and fans of both sides left the stadium but were called back to play because the referee did not blow the whistle for the end of the game, and after reviewing the VAR, it was determined that Argentina was offside by a goal, and the goal was not counted, and finally Argentina lost to Morocco 1:2.
In addition, the Australia cycling team also suffered theft.
Even worse than Japan and Argentina is that Australia directly stole the game equipment.
Four-time X Games champion, two-time World Cup champion and extreme sports legend Logan · Martin posted a video on his social media platform last week, saying that the truck containing his race equipment was smashed, stolen, and lost his wallet, backpack and other valuables, as well as the helmet, gloves and other competition equipment he was about to use for the game.
Fortunately, his bicycle was not in the car, and he was able to escape.
Martin then uploaded a video showing that more stolen items had been found in a park not far from where the theft had taken place, abandoned by thieves all over the park.
The thief eats his energy bar and leaves the wrapper in the park along with Martin's gloves and other equipment.
Anna Mills, head of the Australia delegation, said they would work to compensate for the stolen items, including helmets and boots. "As you can imagine, it's quite stressful to lose your game equipment close to the race."
At the last Tokyo Olympics, Logan · Martin won gold in BMX freestyle, becoming the first Olympic champion in the event's history. For Martin, Paris will basically be his last Olympics, and I hope that Martin, who has experienced this turmoil, will not be disturbed, concentrate on the competition, and draw a perfect end to his last dance.
Not only athletes, but as the competition progressed, so did the news about the theft in Paris.
According to AFP and Japan Jiji, the famous Brazil player Zico was also stolen in Paris.
The football superstar, known as the "White Pele", was invited to Paris as part of the Brazil delegation. He was happy to participate in the Olympic Games, but the theft cast a shadow over his trip to Paris.
On the evening of July 25, Zico was targeted by thieves while taking a taxi to the hotel. Arriving near the hotel where he was staying, the two thieves cooperated, one stepped forward to talk to the driver to divert Zico's attention, and the other took the opportunity to take the briefcase next to Zico.
After succeeding, the two quickly disappeared into the night.
It is reported that Zico's stolen briefcase contained a brilliant diamond necklace, an expensive Rolex watch and a lot of cash, and the initial estimate was that the loss was as high as 500,000 euros (about 4 million yuan).
Faced with this serious theft, the France police reacted quickly. Not only did they launch a comprehensive investigation, but they also called on the public to provide clues and work together to fight the crime.
But there is more than one such serious theft.
Just a few days ago, France's Le Parisien reported that the sister-in-law of the Qatar royal family and current king Emir was stolen from 11 Hermes bags in Paris.
According to clues provided by the police, on July 27, local time, the sister-in-law of the emir of Qatar and her family took a train from Nice to Paris. Between 12 noon and 1:40 p.m., she discovered that 11 Hermès bags had been stolen and contained many valuable personal belongings. To do this, the train had to stop for 20 minutes to help it find it.
Afterwards, when questioned by Le Parisien, the France National Railways (SNCF) did not comment on the matter and refused to disclose data on the theft of luggage on the train, stating that "France SNCF does not assume any responsibility for the loss or theft and that it is the responsibility of the passenger to monitor his luggage."
In this regard, Japanese netizens said that there are really many thefts in France, some people have been cleaned when they went to France before, and some people warned Japanese traveling overseas to be vigilant when they go out.
"When I went to France, someone fiddled with the keys to the suitcase in the hotel, opened the attached drawer and found a lock of hair, and took the tip without cleaning it properly. The hotel is located in a well-known immigration-related area, and gunshots can be heard almost every day at night. The staff who entered the cleaning must be the same person. There are a lot of staff in the player village, too. ”
"Japan people live in a safe environment and are less wary of sight and movement, so they are easily targeted by pickpockets and thieves.
If you drink abroad or sleep on a train, your wallet, mobile phone, and computer will be stolen, and even if you call the police, you won't find anything. The vending machine was not outside the house because it was vandalized and the cash was taken; If you walk while looking at your phone, you will be snatched away and run away; If you wear a gold necklace, you will also be ripped off the necklace and escape.
If you want to look beautiful and bring luxurious decorations abroad, you can take a high-end taxi or drive.
If you go abroad, either you don't have high-end decorations, you don't leave it, or you use a safe. It's best not to trust the hotel's front desk and cleaning staff. Because there are thefts disguised as police officers targeting tourists, Japan with little vigilance should pay special attention. ”
In Paris, you don't eat well, you don't sleep with air conditioning, and now you have to worry about theft. Xiaobian said that the athletes who feel sorry for this Olympic Games hope that everyone will focus on the competition, but also be vigilant and pay attention to protecting the safety of personal and property.
