The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and officially branded as Paris 2024, is an international multi-sport event taking place from 24 July to 11 August 2024 in France, with the opening ceremony having taken place on 26 July. Paris is the host city, with events held in 16 additional cities spread across Metropolitan France, and one subsite in Tahiti, French Polynesia.[4]

2024 Summer Paralympics

Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. After multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two remaining candidate cities; both of the bids were praised for high technical plans and innovative ways to use a record-breaking number of existing and temporary facilities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris becomes the second city ever to host the Summer Olympics three times (after London, which hosted the 1908, 1948, and 2012 Games).[5][6] Paris 2024 marks the centenary of Paris 1924 and Chamonix 1924 (which in turn marks the centenary of the Winter Olympics), is the sixth Olympic Games hosted by France (three Summer Olympics and three Winter Olympics) and the first French Olympics since the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville. The Summer Games returns to the traditional four-year Olympiad cycle, after the 2020 edition was postponed until 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paris 2024 features the debut of break dancing as an Olympic sport,[7] and will be the final Olympic Games held during the IOC presidency of Thomas Bach.[8] The 2024 Games are expected to cost €9 billion.[9][10][11]

Bidding process

Further information: Bids for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics

The six candidate cities were Paris, Hamburg, Boston, Budapest, Rome, and Los Angeles. The bidding process was slowed by withdrawals, political uncertainty, and deterring costs. Boston surpassed Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, in the official US bid. On 27 July 2015, Boston and the USOC mutually agreed to terminate Boston's bid to host the Games, partly because of mixed feelings in the city of Boston. Hamburg withdrew its bid on 29 November 2015 after holding a referendum.[12] Rome withdrew on 21 September 2016, citing fiscal difficulties.[13] Budapest withdrew on 22 February 2017, after a petition against the bid collected more signatures than necessary for a referendum.[14][15][16]

Following these withdrawals, the IOC Executive Board met on 9 June 2017 in Lausanne, Switzerland, to discuss the 2024 and 2028 bid processes.[17][18] The International Olympic Committee formally proposed electing the 2024 and 2028 Olympic host cities at the same time in 2017, a proposal which an Extraordinary IOC Session approved on 11 July 2017 in Lausanne.[18] The IOC set up a process whereby the LA 2024 and Paris 2024 bid committees met with the IOC to discuss which city would host the Games in 2024 and 2028 and whether it was possible to select the host cities for both at the same time.[19]

Following the decision to award the two games simultaneously, Paris was understood to be the preferred host for 2024. On 31 July 2017, the IOC announced Los Angeles as the sole candidate for 2028,[20][21] enabling Paris to be confirmed as host for 2024. Both decisions were ratified at the 131st IOC Session on 13 September 2017.[22]

Host city election

Paris was elected as the host city on 13 September 2017 at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru. The two French IOC members, Guy Drut and Tony Estanguet, were ineligible to vote under the rules of the Olympic Charter.[23][24]

Location of the facilities in the Paris area

Most of the Olympic events will be held in the city of Paris and its metropolitan region, including the neighbouring cities of Saint-Denis, Le Bourget, Nanterre, Versailles, and Vaires-sur-Marne.[25][26]

The basketball preliminaries and handball finals will be held in Lille, which is 225 km (140 mi) from the host city; the sailing and some football games will be held in the Mediterranean city of Marseille, which is 777 km (483 mi) from the host city; meanwhile, the surfing events are expected to be held in Teahupo'o village in the overseas territory of French Polynesia, which is 15,716 km (9,765 mi) from Paris, the host city. Football will also be hosted in another five cities, which are Bordeaux, Décines-Charpieu (Lyon), Nantes, Nice and Saint-Étienne, some of which are home to Ligue 1 clubs.

Medals

Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet unveiled the Olympic and Paralympic medals for the Games in February 2024, which on the obverse featured embedded hexagon-shaped tokens of scrap iron that had been taken from the original construction of the Eiffel Tower, with the Games logo engraved into it.[30] Approximately 5,084 medals would be produced by the French mint Monnaie de Paris, and were designed by Chaumet, a luxury jewellery firm based in Paris.[31]

The reverse of the medals features Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, inside the Panathenaic Stadium which hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896. Parthenon and the Eiffel Tower can also be seen in the background on both sides of the medal.[32] Each medal weighs 455–529 g (16–19 oz), has a diameter of 85 mm (3.3 in) and is 9.2 mm (0.36 in) thick.[33] The gold medals are made with 98.8 percent silver and 1.13 percent gold, while the bronze medals are made up with copper, zinc, and tin.[34]

Security

France reached an agreement with Europol and the UK Home Office to help strengthen security and "facilitate operational information exchange" and "international law enforcement cooperation" during the Games.[35] Within the agreements, it was planned to deploy more drones and sea barriers to prevent small boats from crossing the channel illegally.[36] The British Army will also be deploying Starstreak surface-to-air missile units for air security.[37] Police in Paris held inspections and rehearsals within their bomb disposal unit before the Games, similar to their preparations for the 2023 Rugby World Cup at the Stade de France.[38]

As a part of Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani's visit to France, several agreements were signed between two nations to enhance security for the Olympics.[39] In preparation for the significant security demands and counterterrorist measures, Poland has pledged to contribute security troops, including sniffer dog handlers, to support international efforts aimed at ensuring the safety of the Games.[40][41] The Qatari Minister of Interior and Commander of Lekhwiya convened a meeting on 3 April 2024 ahead of the Olympics, with officials and security leaders, including Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Sheikh Jassim bin Mansour Al Thani to discuss security operations.[42]

A week before the opening ceremony, the Lekhwiya were reported to be deployed in Paris on 16 July 2024.[43] It was reported on in July 2024, that police officers from Belgium,[44] Brazil,[45] Canada (through the RCMP[46]/OPP[47]/CPS[47]), Cyprus,[48] the Czech Republic,[49] Denmark,[50] Estonia,[51][52] Finland,[53] Germany (through Bundespolizei[54][55]/NRW Police[56]),[57] India,[58][59] Ireland,[60] Italy,[61] Luxembourg,[62] Morocco,[63] Netherlands,[64] Norway,[47] Poland,[65] Portugal,[66] Slovakia,[67] South Korea,[68][69] Spain (through National Police[70]/Guardia Civil[38]), Sweden,[71] the UAE[72] the UK[38] and the US (through the LAPD[73]/LASD[74]/NYPD[75]/FCPD[76]) will be deployed in Paris to assist their French counterparts with a total of 46 countries providing police assistance.[77][78]

Security concerns impacted the announced plans for the opening ceremony to take place as a public event along the Seine; the expected attendance was reduced by half from an estimated 600,000 to 300,000, with plans for free viewing locations now being by invitation only. In April 2024, after Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Crocus City Hall attack in March, and made several threats against the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, French president Emmanuel Macron indicated that the opening ceremony could be scaled back or re-located if necessary.[79][80][81] French authorities had placed roughly 75,000 police and military officials on to the streets of Paris in the lead up to the Games.[82]

Food

To decrease the environmental and climate footprint of the Paris 2024 games,[83] the Olympic venues will serve double the amount of plant-based food compared to what was available in London 2012 and Rio 2016.[84] The Paris 2024 games will serve vegan chicken nuggets and vegan hot dogs, rather than the meat-based kind, in a bid to have 30% of the menu being plant-based.[85]

The games will serve an estimated 13 million meals,[83] with 40,000 meals each day and of those 1,200 will be Michelin-starred meals.[85] A boulangerie will bake fresh baguettes and other breads each day.[86]

A 3,500-seat restaurant was constructed for the event to highlight global cuisine. Great Britain's team asked for porridge to be added to the menu, and South Korea's team asked for kimchi.[85]

In the build-up to the Games, athletes and competitors at the Olympic Village complained about a certain lack of food within the accommodation, namely foods such as eggs and grilled meats.[87]

Transportation

Main article: Transportation during the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics

Over €500 million has been invested in transport improvements for the Games,[88] with extensions to the Paris Métro and 60 kilometres (37 mi) of new cycle lanes.[89][90] Visitors to Paris will pay higher public transport fares during the Games, €4 instead of the previous €2.15 price. This will pay for the increased frequency and hours of service for public transport during the Games, with an average increase of 15% in services.[91][88] As with previous Games, 185 kilometres (115 mi) of reserved traffic lanes will be used to ensure reliable journey times for athletes, officials and the media.[92]

Volunteers

The Paris 2024 volunteer platform for the Olympic and Paralympic Games was opened to the public in March 2023. There were expected to be 45,000 volunteers recruited worldwide for the Games.[93] Following the end of registration on 3 May 2023, over 300,000 applications had been submitted to the Paris Organizing Committee, exceeding the number of applicants for the previous two Olympics.[94] Applicants were notified of the outcome of their application between September and December 2023.[95] Over 800 applicants were excluded over security fears, among which 15 were flagged with Fiche S.[96]

Torch relay

The Olympic torch relay began with the lighting of the Olympic flame on 16 April in Olympia, Greece, 100 days before the start of the Games. Greek rower Stefanos Douskos was the first torchbearer and swimmer Laure Manaudou served as the first French torchbearer.[97][98] The latter was selected to be one of four captains of the torch relay, alongside swimmer Florent Manaudou (her brother), paratriathlete Mona Francis [fr], and para-athlete Dimitri Pavadé.[99][100] The torch relay is expected to have 10,000 torchbearers and visit over 400 settlements in 65 French territories, including six overseas.[97] On 18 May, it was reported that the portion of the relay in New Caledonia was cancelled due to ongoing unrest in the collectivity.[101]

Main article: 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony

The opening ceremony began at 19:30 (CEST, GMT+2) on 26 July 2024.[102] Directed by Thomas Jolly,[103][104][105] the opening ceremony of a Summer Olympics was held outside of a traditional stadium setting for the first time: the parade of athletes was conducted as a boat parade along the Seine from Pont d'Austerlitz to Pont d'Iéna, with cultural segments taking place at various landmarks along the route; Jolly stated that the ceremony would highlight notable moments in the history of France, with an overall theme of love and "shared humanity".[106] Protocolar elements took place at a temporary venue constructed on Place du Trocadéro in front of the Eiffel Tower.[107] Approximately 326,000 tickets were distributed for viewing locations along the Seine, 222,000 of which were distributed primarily to the Games' volunteers, youth, and low-income families among others.[108]

The ceremony featured music performances by American musician Lady Gaga,[109] French heavy metal band Gojira and soprano Marina Viotti [fr],[110] Axelle Saint-Cirel (who sang the French national anthem La Marseillaise atop the Grand Palais),[111] rapper Rim'K,[112] Philippe Katerine (who portrayed the Greek god Dionysus), Juliette Armanet and Sofiane Pamart, and French-Canadian singer Celine Dion.[110] The Games were formally opened by President Emmanuel Macron.[113] The Olympic cauldron was lit by Guadeloupean judoka and sprinter Teddy Riner and Marie-José Pérec; it has a hot air balloon-inspired design topped by a 30-metre-tall helium sphere, and is allowed to float into the air above the Tuileries Garden at night. For the first time, the cauldron is not illuminated via combustion; the flames are simulated via an LED lighting system and aerosol water jets.[114]

Sports

The programme of the 2024 Summer Olympics features 329 events in 32 sports, including the 28 "core" Olympic sports contested in 2016 and 2020,[115] and four optional sports that were proposed by the Paris Organising Committee: breaking will make its Olympic debut as an optional sport, while skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing will return from 2020.[116][117][118] Four events have been dropped from weightlifting. In canoeing, two sprint events have been replaced with two slalom events, keeping the overall total at 16. In sport climbing, the previous "combined" event has been divided into separate speed climbing and boulder and lead disciplines for each gender.[119]

In February 2023, USA Boxing announced its decision to boycott the 2023 World Championships (organized by the International Boxing Association) where Russian and Belarusian athletes would compete with no restrictions, also accusing the IBA of attempting to sabotage the IOC-approved qualification pathway for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Canada later joined the U.S.[120]

New and optional sports

When Paris was bidding for the Games in August 2017, the Paris Organizing Committee announced that it would hold talks with the IOC and professional esports organisations about the possibility of introducing competitive events in 2024.[121][122] In July 2018, the IOC confirmed that it would not consider esports for the 2024 Olympics.[117] At the 134th IOC Session in June 2019, the IOC approved the Paris Organising Committee's proposed optional sports of breaking (breakdance), along with skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing, three sports that debuted at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[123][116][117][118]

Closing ceremony

The closing ceremony is scheduled to be held at Stade de France on 11 August 2024.[105] The ceremony will be titled "Records", and is set to feature more than a hundred performers, including acrobats, dancers, and circus artists.[124] The cultural presentation by Los Angeles, host of the 2028 Summer Olympics, will be produced by Ben Winston and his studio Fulwell 73.[125]

Participating National Olympic Committees

 
Participating nations
 
Country by team size

204 out of 206 National Olympic Committees are represented at the 2024 Summer Games with 54 from Africa, 48 from Europe, 44 from Asia, 41 from the Americas and 17 from Oceania. North Korea returned to the Games in 2024 after missing the 2020 edition. Two additional teams, Individual Neutral Athletes (athletes from Russia and Belarus) and the Refugee Olympic Team, also competed.

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the IOC suspended the Olympic Committees of Russia and Belarus for violating the Olympic Truce. Russian and Belarusian athletes will instead compete as "Individual Neutral Athletes" (AIN) without national identification,[126][127] as long as they do not "actively" support the war.[128][129] Individual neutral athletes must be approved by each sport's international federation, and then the IOC's panel.[130] As individual athletes, AIN will not be considered a delegation during the opening ceremony or in the medal tables.[131][132][133]

Emblem

The emblem for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics was unveiled on 21 October 2019 at the Grand Rex. Inspired by Art Deco,[135][136] it is a representation of Marianne, the national personification of France, with a flame formed in negative space by her hair. The emblem also resembles a gold medal. Tony Estanguet explained that the emblem symbolised "the power and the magic of the Games", and the Games being "for people". The use of a female figure also serves as an homage to the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, which were the first to allow women to participate.[137] The emblem was designed by the French designer Sylvain Boyer[138] with the French design agencies Royalties & Ecobranding.[139][140][138]

The emblem for Paris 2024 was considered the biggest new logo release of 2019 by many design magazines.[141][142] An Opinion Way survey shows that 83 per cent of French people say they like the new Paris 2024 Games emblem. Approval ratings were high, with 82 per cent of those surveyed finding it aesthetically appealing and 78 per cent finding it to be creative.[143] It was met with some mockery on social media, one user commenting that the logo "would be better suited to a dating site or a hair salon".[137]

For the first time, the 2024 Summer Paralympics is sharing the same emblem as its corresponding Olympics, with no difference, reflecting a shared "ambition" between both events.[144]

Mascots

Main article: The Phryges

On 14 November 2022, The Phryges were unveiled as the mascots of the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics; they are a pair of anthropomorphic Phrygian caps, a historic French symbol of freedom and liberty.[145][146] Marianne is commonly depicted wearing the Phrygian cap, including in the Eugène Delacroix painting, Liberty Leading the People.[147][148] The two mascots share a motto of "Alone we go faster, but together we go further".[149]

In April 2024, the official Olympic video game titled Olympics Go! Paris 2024 was announced for release in June by Animoca Brands on Android, iOS, and Microsoft Windows devices.[150][151]

Posters

The Olympic poster for these games was revealed on 4 March 2024. Designed by Ugo Gattoni, the poster uses a diptych design, with one half representing the Olympics and the other half representing the Paralympics. For the first time, the Olympic poster and Paralympic poster were designed together, as each one can work independently as halves, or be combined into one poster all together. The posters took 2,000 hours, across six months to complete.[152][153]

Corporate sponsorship

A TGM Research survey shows that Coca-Cola is globally the most connected brand with the 2024 Olympics, with 23% of people mentioning it. Nike comes in second with 16%, despite not being an official sponsor of the Olympic Games.[154] Belgian beverage company AB InBev became the first Worldwide Olympic Partner during the Games,[155] while Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota will not renew its TOP sponsorship, with the company reportedly unhappy with how the IOC has used its sponsorship money.[156][157]

Under an agreement as "Premium" sponsor reportedly valued at €150 million ($163 million), French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH has been involved in aspects of the Games, with its brand Louis Vuitton having provided the trunks used to store the Olympic torch and medals, and the outfits and trays for medal presenters. Former IOC marketing head Michael Payne raised concerns that the prominent use of LVMH goods as part of the Olympics (and in particular, the opening ceremony, which also featured Louis Vuitton suitcases as props, and Dior haute coutre worn by performers Aya Nakamura and Lady Gaga) could cause conflicts with other official sponsors, noting that "the direction of stylish sponsor product placement may not be wrong but needs exceptionally careful management. LVMH got a massive free global ad last night and other partners are all going to be asking, how did that work?"[158][159]

Broadcasting rights

Main article: List of 2024 Summer Olympics broadcasters

In France, domestic rights to the 2024 Summer Olympics are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (formerly Discovery Inc.) via Eurosport, with free-to-air coverage sublicensed to the country's public broadcaster France Télévisions.[168] WBD's current streaming platform Max launched in France ahead of the Games on 11 June 2024, and planned to stream the Games at no additional cost to subscribers.[169][170][171] WBD networks will broadcast from Hôtel Raphael, with dedicated studios for its British, French, Polish, and Nordic channels.[172]

Concerns and controversies

Main article: Concerns and controversies at the 2024 Summer Olympics

Several controversial issues occurred related to the 2024 Summer Olympics, including environmental and security concerns,[173][174] human rights,[175] terrorism,[176] and controversies over allowing Israel to participate amidst the Israel–Hamas war,[177][178] and allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutrals amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[179][180] While there is nominally an Olympic Truce in place as is usual, the wars in Ukraine and Palestine already set a more conflicted political background to the 2024 Summer Olympics, before considering domestic and sporting issues.[181] Sportswriter Andy Bull opined ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics that it had been "reframed as the Conflict Games".[182]
