^{2024 Summer Olympics}

^{The 2024 Summer Olympics, known as the XXXIII Olympiad, bear the Paris 2024 label. They are a global multi-sport event in France from 24 July to 11 August 2024. The opening ceremony is on 26 July. Paris could be the host city. Events will take place in 16 other cities in Metropolitan France and one site in Tahiti, French Polynesia.}

^{At the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017, Paris received the Video Games. After many withdrawals, only Paris and LA remained. The IOC then allowed a process to award the Olympic 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Both bids received praise for their tech plans. They used a record number of existing and temporary venues in innovative ways. Paris, which hosted the Olympics in 1900 and 1924, is the second city to host the Summer Olympics three times, after London (1908, 1948, 2012). Paris 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Olympics, both in Paris and Chamonix. It is France’s sixth time hosting the Games (3 Summer and 3 Winter). This will be the first French Olympics since the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville. The Summer Games returned to a normal four-year cycle. COVID-19 caused the postponement of the 2020 version to 2021.}

^{The Paris 2024 Olympics will debut breakdancing as a sport. They will be the last Olympic Games held during Thomas Bach’s International Olympic Committee presidency. Organizers envision the 2024 Games costing €9 billion.}

^{Bidding Process}

^{Even further details: bids for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympic Games.}

^{The six cities were Paris, Hamburg, Boston, Budapest, Rome, and L.A. Withdrawals, political uncertainty, and high costs slowed the bidding. Boston surpassed L.A., San Francisco, and Washington, DC, within the official US bid. On 27 July 2015, Boston and the USOC agreed to end Boston’s bid to host the Games. This was partly due to mixed feelings in Boston. Hamburg withdrew its bid on 29 November 2015 right after holding a referendum. Rome withdrew on 21 September 2016, citing fiscal issues. Budapest withdrew on 22 February 2017, after a petition. It had more than the needed signatures for a referendum.}

^{Next, after these withdrawals, the IOC Gov Board met on 9 June 2017 in Lausanne, Switzerland. They discussed the 2024 and 2028 bid processes. In 2017, the IOC proposed to elect the 2024 and 2028 Olympic host cities at the same time. An unprecedented IOC Session accepted this proposal on 11 July 2017 in Lausanne. The IOC set up a process for the LA and Paris 2024 bid committees. They would discuss which city would host the 2024 and 2028 Games. It aimed to see if it was possible to choose both host cities at once.}

^{Paris became recognized as the preferred host for 2024 by choosing to award the two video games at once. On 31 July 2017, the IOC announced Los Angeles as the only candidate for 2028. This verified Paris as the host for 2024. The 131st IOC Session ratified both of those selections on 13 September 2017.}

^{Host City Election}

^{On 13 September 2017, the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, elected Paris as the host city. The 2 French IOC members, Dude Drut and Tony Estanguet could not vote under the Olympic Charter.}

^{Advancement and Preparations}

^{Many Olympic events are now in Paris and its metro area. This includes the nearby cities of Saint-Denis, Le Bourget, Nanterre, Versailles, and Vaires-sur-Marne.}

^{The basketball preliminaries and handball finals might be in Lille, 225 km (140 mi) from Paris, your host town. The sailing and some soccer games will be in Marseille, 777 km (483 mi) from Paris. The surfing events are to be in Teahupo’o, a village in French Polynesia, 15,716 km (9,765 mi) from Paris. Five more towns may also host soccer: Bordeaux, Décines-Charpieu (Lyon), Nantes, Goud, and Saint-Étienne. A few have Ligue 1 clubs.}

^{The Game Titles}

^{Sporting Activities}

^{The 2024 Summer Olympics will have 329 events in 32 sports. They include 48 disciplines. This involves the 28 “main” Olympic sports from 2016 and 2020. It also includes four optional sports proposed by the Paris Organising Committee. Breakdancing is making its Olympic debut as an optional activity. Skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing are back. They debuted at the 2020 Olympics. Weightlifting has dropped four events. Two slalom races replace two sprint events in canoeing. This keeps the total at sixteen. In sport climbing, the old “combined” event is now split. There are separate “speed climbing” and “boulder-and-direct merged” events for each gender.}

^{In February 2023, USA Boxing announced a boycott of the IBA’s 2023 World Championships. Russian and Belarusian athletes competed without limits. The USBA accused the IBA of trying to sabotage the 2024 Olympic qualifiers, which the IOC approved. Later, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and Canada joined the US boycott.}

^{New and Optional Athletics}

^{In August 2017, Paris was bidding for your video games. The Paris Committee will discuss adding esports events in 2024 with the IOC and esports groups. In July 2018, the IOC verified that it wouldn’t consider esports for the 2024 Olympics. At the 134th IOC Session in June 2019, the IOC accepted the Paris Organising Committee’s proposal to include breaking (breakdance) as an optional sport. It is alongside skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing. These three sports were first included in 2020.}

^{The 2024 Paris Olympics will launch many new events and formats. Method Kite’s debut is called the “Method One of several Olympics.” It includes high-speed foil racing with separate events for men and women. Kayak Cross also debuts. It is a race where 4 athletes race on a course with many gates. It is the first head-to-head race in Olympic canoe slalom history. Activity climbing returns using a new format. It splits into bouldering and guided put-together occasions, along with a pace party. 3×3 basketball, which debuted in Tokyo, is back. The finals are on August 5 at Place de La Concorde. Other sports have variations. They are men’s artistic swimming, a new women’s boxing class, and a mixed relay marathon in track and field.}
