Paris will be the main hub of the Olympics, with various events taking place in iconic locations across the city. The Stade de France in Saint-Denis, the country’s largest stadium, will serve as the Olympic Stadium. Additionally, events will be spread across 17 different cities in metropolitan France and even in Tahiti, with surfing competitions taking place on the island of Teahupo’o.
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics will be a historic event, held for the first time outside of a stadium, along the Seine River. The official theme song, “Parade,” composed by Victor Le Manse, is set to capture the spirit of the games.
The motto of the 2024 Summer Olympics is “Games Wide Open”, symbolizing inclusivity and spectacle. The mascot, the Olympic Phryge, is a representation of freedom, draped in the colors of the French flag.
An estimated 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will participate in the 2024 Games, making it the first Olympics with an equal number of male and female athletes. With 329 medal events across 45 sports, including new additions like breaking, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing, there will be plenty of action for fans to enjoy.
Despite the festivities, the Eiffel Tower will remain open during the games, except for the day before and the day of the opening ceremony. Fans looking to attend can purchase tickets through the official Olympics site for an unforgettable experience.
