Paris Olympic 2024 Games are quickly approaching, bringing drama from some of the biggest names in sports, such as Novak Djokovic and Katie Ledecky, as they vie for glory in the French capital.

As Paris prepares to welcome the Greatest Show on Earth, preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games have begun in earnest. The countdown for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has officially started.

City of Sport promises thrills and spills. Representing one’s country at the pain Olympics is the pinnacle of an athlete’s career; medal competition will be fierce

As such, it is an extraordinary honor and privilege to host such an esteemed gathering. 2024 will mark Paris’ third time hosting these Games after London and New York; its first edition took place in 1900 before repeating this role two decades later in 1924.

Paris provides the ideal setting to witness world-class athletes compete across 32 sports against a Parisian backdrop, so take advantage of this unforgettable spectacle. They officially billed the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad.

When Are The Paris 2024 Olympic Games?

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games will occur between July 26 and August 11, 2024. The Games begin on July 24, with preliminary matches in football and rugby 7, with the official opening ceremony taking place two days later.

When Is The Opening Ceremony At Paris 2024?

The Opening Ceremony for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is on July 26, 2024. The athletes will not parade around the stadium but travel by boat for 6km on the Seine River. This is a break from tradition. The ceremony is expected to attract 600,000 spectators.

Who Will Be The Most Prominent Stars In Paris 2024?

Katie Ledecky (USA, Swimming)

If she wins three golds in the pool, then she will become the most successful woman ever in Olympic history. Ledecky won seven titles between London 2012, Rio 2016, and Tokyo 2020. Will she win more?

Dina Aher-Smith (Team GB Athletics)

Asher-Smith is the Eurosport ambassador for the 200m and the 2019 champion. She wants to win her first medal in the Olympics after suffering a devastating injury in Tokyo.

Steph Curry (USA, Basketball)

Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, will lead the United States men’s team. It’s reasonable to assume that Curry, one of the most well-known faces in basketball, will be there.

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal pose at the net during the Quarter Finals match of the 2022 French Open Tennis Tournament in Paris on May 31, 2022.

Rafael Nadal (Spain, Tennis)

He has already won two Olympic golds, one in singles and another in doubles. It is well known that he has several physical problems, so it’s unlikely he will play, but if the event takes place at Roland-Garros on red clay, he may want to give it one more shot. Time will tell.

Novak Djokovic (Serbia, Tennis)

Djokovic is a part of Nadal. We know that the Serbian is prone to accumulating records and titles. The only thing that needs to be added to his resume is a gold Olympic medal. So you can bet he will be in Paris, France next year.

Sky Brown (Team GB, Skateboarding)

Can Britain’s youngest Olympic medallist, a world champion at only 14, reach the top of the podium in Paris as well?

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica, Athletics)

The Jamaican sprinter is considered the best of all time, with three Olympic golds, four Olympic silvers, and one bronze. She has also won 10 World Championships golds. Fraser-Pryce, who will be 37 when the 2024 Olympics begins, will probably be the last to compete.

Rory McIlroy (Ireland, Golf)

The best golfers, both men and women, have welcomed the sport’s return to the Olympics. Rory McIlroy is the biggest name in golf’s absence of Tiger Woods. He is from Northern Ireland and played for Ireland in Tokyo last year. Expect him to play the same in Paris.

Teddy Riner (France, Judo)

The heavyweight judo champion is looking to win a third gold medal at the Paris Olympics after extending his record with an 11th world title. In Tokyo, he only won bronze, but he was a part of the mixed team that won.

Faith Kipyegon (Kenya, Athletics)

Who would bet against Faith Kipyegon if she were to win a hat trick of Olympic 1500m titles? In the year before Paris, she set new world records in 1500m and 5km and shaved five seconds off her mile world record.

Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia, Cycling)

The Slovenian may be in pain after another loss at the Tour de France, but expect him to be in contention in the time trial and road race in Paris.

What Are The New Sports At Paris 2024?

Four More Sports

Breaking, sport climbing, skateboarding, surfing.

Paris 2024 took advantage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)’s Olympic Agenda 2020 initiative to add additional sports and enhance the overall concept. IOC wants to set new standards for inclusive, gender-balanced, youth-centric games.

Paris 2024 submitted their proposal to the IOC for four new sports associated with youth that reward athletic performance and creativity: breaking, sport climbing, and skateboarding are easy-to-learn activities that form solid social media communities among participants – potentially inspiring millions more children and adults to get active through sport over five years.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has confirmed Paris 2024 event programs and athlete quotas, as well as plans to introduce new sports by December 2020.

Paris 2024 Summer Olympics: Dates and Logo Location Schedule

Soon, Paris will host the Summer Olympic Games of 2024, while Beijing’s Winter Olympic Games will quickly close.

Tokyo will host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games; however, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, they have been delayed one full year from their original date and only recently celebrated a little over one calendar year since the last edition occurred. Paris Games will kickstart a full two-year schedule in 2024.

Dates: July 26, 2024 – August 11, 2020

Host City: Paris (France)

Events in 32 Sports:306

U.S. Broadcast partner: NBCUniversal

Logos and Locations

The official logo for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games will feature three iconic symbols that embody Olympic ideals and France: gold medal, Olympic flame, and Marianne as a representation of France. Additionally, this same logo will also be utilized by the 2024 Paralympic Games organizers.

During the bidding process, an alternative logo featuring a stylized version of the Eiffel Tower merged with “24” was employed as part of their bid submission. Now, the official Olympic Games logo honors its host nation and rich Olympic Games history.

France has hosted its inaugural Olympic Games since 1992 and Paris its first Summer Games since 1924. TrendsMyth predicts that more than 40 sites will host sporting events, both new and traditional, this year.

Preview

As expected due to their immense popularity, the 2024 Games will feature many exciting sporting events with unique and interesting sporting formats, such as skateboarding, surfing, and sports climbing – events first introduced during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Both baseball and karate will soon be off of the Olympic program.

Breakdancing (breaking) will become an Olympic event in 2024, featuring a new set of judges who will score the competitors, much like gymnastics or ice dancing in the Winter Olympics.

International DanceSport is championing ballroom dancing as an Olympic event. Traditionalists may oppose breaking through barriers such as these. Still, they recognize that doing so could keep a door open to more participation.

Rick Maese of the Washington Post reported that all participants felt that dances worked together harmoniously. Ken Richards, president of USA Dance, noted, “we must accept that if the IOC can accept dance of one style, perhaps other styles won’t fall as far behind.”

Paris will also utilize iconic landmarks as backdrops for many venues.

“Paris landmarks will be transformed into sports arenas for an unforgettable spectator experience and impressive sporting prowess on display,” stated the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.

The 2024 Olympic Games will offer fans an unforgettable and stunning spectacle like no other before it. They promise an experience like no other seen before.
