Paris Olympics 2018

The Paris 2024 Olympics, which commenced on July 26, are showcasing exciting new features including a diverse commentary team led by Snoop Dogg and a strong commitment to sustainability, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 55% compared to previous Games. With 28.6 million viewers tuning into the opening ceremonies, the event is off to a promising start, marking the most-watched opening since 2012. The Games are notable for their innovative use of existing venues, with 95% of the facilities repurposed to minimize environmental impact. New sports like breaking, skateboarding, and sport climbing are set to captivate audiences, with breaking making its Olympic debut. Athletes like Tasi Limtiaco from Micronesia highlight the significance of Olympic Solidarity in providing opportunities for competitors from under-resourced backgrounds. Despite ambitious sustainability goals, challenges remain, particularly in transportation logistics.
