  3. The number of medals won by some countries at the Olympics and the amount of money invested on facilities and corporate sponsorship at the games raise questions about the world’s commitment to ending poverty,” reports the ENI Bulletin, of Switzerland. “This is not to say we shouldn’t celebrate excellence or applaud extraordinary feats of human skill and endurance,” says Greg Foot, from the World Vision agency of Australia. “But,” he adds, “we do have to ask whether we are quite getting the balance right when we spend so much on perfecting the diet of our elite athletes when millions of our neighbours have barely enough food to be able to walk.” It is estimated that during the two weeks the Olympics were held in Atlanta, 490,000 children died of hunger and preventable diseases worldwide.

  10. I admire Princess Anne, but I do not admire the Olympic Committee that have failed to state that men who identify as women are not allowed to compete in Women's sports.

  20. Love and Admiration goes out to Princess Anne. Beautiful speech on Behalf of the UK and British team competitors. Also with respect and wishes to Princess Anne as she recovers from her latest health scare..Beautifully Done.

  21. So Anne was drawn into this year’s now demonic games. Hopefully unknowingly.
    It’s sickening that the planners turned the Olympics into an anti-Christian event, mocking God. In the repulsive scene it appears a child was present.
    Intentional Demonic mockery of all Christians worldwide.

  25. Our royal family should be boycotting the Paris Olympic Games after seeing the hideous blasphemous opening performance ridiculing the most precious and meaningful part of Christian belief.

  26. Princess Royal is such an inspiration, her speech was almost like an aunt wishing her nephews and nieces good luck, recognizing their extraordinary hard work and warming their heart

  32. Princess Royal Anne has Olympics equestrian experience to pass on to this younger generation.

    I see so much of her Mum in her.
