The Paris Olympics are set to be a grand spectacle of athleticism and international unity, with over 10,500 athletes from across the globe poised to compete from July 26 to August 11, 2024. This edition of the Games will see the participation of approximately 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), representing a vast array of nations and cultures.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has taken a significant stance regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While Russian and Belarusian athletes are banned from competing under their national flags, they will be permitted to participate as ‘Individual Neutral Athletes’, subject to the condition that they do not actively support the war effort.
The anticipation is palpable as the world’s greatest athletes prepare to showcase their skills and determination on the global stage. From the iconic Eiffel Tower to the historic Stade de France, Paris is gearing up to host an unforgettable Olympic experience, promising a thrilling spectacle of athletic prowess and international camaraderie.
