I'm not one for outrage but I disagree with the statement "The Olympic community says no and tells us very convincingly where the idea came from."
The Last Supper motif was flagged up in promotional material prior to the event on the Sortir à Paris website, explaining that it was a based on a French pun. ‘La Cène’ (the Last Supper) sounding identical in French to la scène (the scene), and La Seine (the river through Paris).
Ben this was written before that statement was published. Prior to that the Olympic committee was denying this association and only linking it to the Greek God Dionysus. I don't think that affects the thesis of my article though.
I'm certainly not dismissing the rest of your article Christine . I'm just pointing out that the Last Supper parallel was in promotional material prior to the actual launch. It's a small point but an important one, I think.
