Paris 2024 Olympics Preparations and Support Highlighted

The Government of India's Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) is supporting athletes with coaching, training, and other resources to achieve at least 10 medals at the Paris Olympics 2024, with notable beneficiaries including Neeraj Chopra and the badminton duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty. Team USA will feature stars like Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel, with live broadcasts available on NBC and other platforms. Paris is hosting the most cost-effective Olympics of the 21st century, using primarily existing infrastructure and focusing on sustainability. The opening ceremony will uniquely take place along the Seine River, marking the first time it won't be held in a stadium. Amidst preparations, Canada is addressing a safe-sport crisis with ongoing efforts to improve athlete welfare. Various Olympic-themed attractions and training sessions are already underway in Paris, building excitement for the upcoming Games.
