Olympic Rings Have Been Removed From the Eiffel Tower, At Least For Now. But Will They Be Back?

Well, I kind of missed this story, because I was on vacation at the time.

However, I just discovered that they removed the Olympic rings from the Eiffel Tower...for now.

But they may be back soon.

Apparently, the plan is to have the rings remain on the Eiffel Tower until the Olympic Games in Los Angeles begin in 2028. The mayor apparently wants this to be the case. And so, there is a plan to put the Olympic rings - or new ones, in any case - right back on the iconic landmark. 

However, that is not quite a given, either. The plan to keep the Olympic rings in place on the tower has it's detractors. There will be resistance. 

It will be interesting to see what happens next, one way or the other.
