XXXIII Olympic Summer Games of 2024 in Paris

About games

• In 2024, Paris will become the second city after London to host the Summer Olympic Games three times. The City of Lights hosted the Olympic Games for the first time in 1900, four years after the resumption of the Olympics, which had not been held for about 1,500 years after the ban by Roman Emperor Theodosius I. In 1924, Paris hosted the Summer Olympics again, becoming the first two-time Olympic host. In addition to the three Summer Olympics, France has hosted the Winter Games three times: Chamonix in 1924, Grenoble in 1968, and Albertville in 1992.

• The program of the 2024 Summer Olympics consists of 32 sports, covering 306 competitions, among which there is a debutant of the Olympic Games – breaking. Breaking is a competitive type of dance that involves footwork and athletic elements such as spinning on your back or head.

• Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia. As part of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the French Overseas Territory will host surfing competitions. The competition will be held 15,700 kilometers from Paris. This is the most remote venue from the host city in the history of the Games.
