The Paris 2024 Olympic Games have definitely gone down in history. The opening ceremony was not held in a stadium, but on the iconic River Seine. This unprecedented move was intended to bring the Olympic Games closer to the people, turning the city into a stage where the participating athletes could shine.
With giant screens and speakers spread throughout the city, spectators were able to enjoy the spectacle from different locations, creating a truly shared experience. Furthermore, in an effort to reflect the spirit of the Olympic Games, the athletes took centre stage throughout the ceremony. By starting with the athletes’ parade, Paris 2024 emphasised the importance of the competitors and their dedication to their sports.
