By Srijit Das A montage of visuals showing a small rocket being lit inside a church and intercut with footage from a concert is circulating with the false claim that it shows the Olympic torch was lit in Paris, France.

It was billed as the “greenest [Games] in Olympic history” \- but the sustainability dreams of Paris 2024 are melting away as organisers order 2,500 air-conditioning units.
