As the flame was ceremoniously ignited at the historic birthplace of the Olympics in Ancient Olympia, Greece, the culmination of seven years of meticulous preparations for Paris 2024 has arrived. With just 100 days left until the start of this monumental sporting event, final preparations are in full swing.
While the French government grapples with ensuring security, leading to a reassessment of plans for the grand opening ceremony on July 26, those involved in bringing the Games to fruition remain unwaveringly optimistic.
\"All of our energy and all of the means at our disposal are being employed to make this very beautiful ceremony a success,\" said Paris 2024's chief organizer Tony Estanguet during a press briefing. \"We all know that before this kind of big event, there are always many questions, many concerns. It's a fantastic opportunity for our country to host this event, to welcome the world and also showcase what this country is about to do and deliver.\"
