General Review

“Games wide open” – this is the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games slogan. This time Paris will ensure the Games will be more responsible, more inclusive, and more spectacular than ever before. Everyone is anticipating this grand event, as Paris proved its cutting-edge approach of being an Olympic host in the past for three times already. 

In 1900, women athletes were involved for the first time ever at the Paris Olympic Games; in 1924, when Paris became the first city to host two separate Olympics. And this year, when 50% of all athletes are women, making Paris the first host to achieve gender equality in the Olympic Games history.
