How Many Sports Are In The Summer Olympics Paris 2024

One of the most exciting sporting events in this year's calendar is none other than the Summer Olympics in Paris. With humble beginnings dating back to the ancient world, historians believe that the first Olympic games started in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece. The victor — known as Koroibos — partook in the stadion race, which was simply a foot race approximately 600 feet (183 meters) in length.

 

The Olympics, in their modern form, have become a global spectacle. They feature more sports, technological innovations, and contestants than ever before. Inevitably, any city that hosts the Olympics enjoys a boost in tourism, revenue, and stature. Paris is no stranger to the Olympics, as it previously hosted the Summer Olympics in 1900, 1924, and now in 2024.

 

But will these upcoming Summer Olympic Games raise the bar even higher? Since Paris has hosted numerous sporting events with great success, things are looking up for the 2024 Summer Olympics Paris. TVCMALL closely identifies with the spirit of the Olympic Games because contestants persevere and THRIVE! Let's delve deeper into this phenomenal sporting event that will leave us all in awe.

Understanding The Olympic Torch Relay Route

Several months before the Summer Olympics, a vital symbolic practice must occur. At the stadium in Olympia, a torch is lit strictly with the sun's rays using a parabolic mirror. Then, the first torchbearer leaves the Olympia stadium and passes the torch on to the next torchbearer. The torch will change hands at least 550 times during an 11-day journey around Greece.

 

This leg of the journey concludes when the torch reaches the Panathenaic Stadium, located in Athens. It's a deeply symbolic and fitting location because it's also home to the modern Olympic Games. But before reaching the stadium, there was a brief stop at the ultra-modern Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) to commemorate the historic bond between Greece and France.

 

The torch is handed over, with the French torchbearer boarding the Belem ship that will sail to Marseille, France. Now, the second leg of the torch relay begins across France's stunning landmarks, coastlines, and countryside. The relay commenced on the 8th of May and will conclude on the 26th of July, 2024.
