Arcom was alerted to a segment of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games show, broadcast on France 3 on February 6, 2022, during which the female presenter commented on an athlete's performance, using, according to the plaintiffs, sexist language.

She considered that the presenter's comments, while they may have appeared clumsy, were confined to commenting on the athlete's sporting performance by comparing them to those of male skiers.

Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
