The image should show the Olympic torch shining over the tournament.
However, some people think she looks exactly like Coronation Street legend Gail Platt.
The popular character is played by Helen Worth and first appeared on the ITV show in 1974.
And some fans revealed they “can’t undo it” after the resemblance was highlighted on social media.
Another declared, “French Platt.”
One read: “I’m taking home a PLATTinum medal.”
Another added: “This is great.”
A deliberate illusion
While fans were amazed by the optical illusion, the organizers will be pleased because it was designed that way on PURPOSE.
However, it should not look like Gail Platt.
It’s a nod to Marianne – the French symbol of freedom and strength.
Olympic organizers explain: “Marianne is a universal symbol embodied by legendary and influential women.
“She gives a human face to the Olympic Games, advocating for people and with people.
“It symbolizes the emancipation of women and a strong signal that sport and its governing bodies are finally evolving.”
