All eyes will be on Paris in 2024, when the French capital hosts the 33rd Summer Olympic Games. The global sporting event, which runs from July 26 to Aug. 11, is expected to draw 10,500 Olympic athletes vying for some of the biggest accolades of their careers — and millions of spectators watching them do it.
The flow of sports fans into the city should create a very different spirit to the stripped-down experience of the last Summer Games, hosted by Tokyo in 2021, which was postponed a year because of the pandemic and saw athletes competing to almost empty stands because of Covid protocols.
