Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony: For the first time ever, athletes won’t parade through a stadium. Instead, they’ll float on boats down the River Seine towards the Eiffel Tower. How cool is that?

Surfing in Tahiti: The surfing competition for the Paris 2024 Olympics will take place in Tahiti, which is 9,750 miles away from Paris. That’s an Olympic record for the farthest event from the host city!

Torch Relay: The Olympic torch relay began in Greece and will travel through more than 400 towns in France and its territories overseas. About 10,000 torchbearers will carry the flame.

Airbnb and Vrbo Prices: During the Olympics, the prices for accommodations in Paris have more than doubled. It’s a hot spot, and everyone wants to be there!

Olympic Rings: The five Olympic rings represent the world’s five major regions: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania². The colors blue, yellow, black, green, and red are used in every flag worldwide.

Artists Used to Compete: Did you know that artists used to compete in the Olympics? They had categories like painting, sculpture, music, and literature.

Medal Design: The host city designs the Olympic medals for their games. Each must be at least 60mm in diameter and 3mm thick. The gold medals must be covered in 6g of gold, and silver medals must contain 92.5% silver.

Olympic Hymn: The Olympic Hymn was first used at the 1896 Athens Olympic Games, but it was only declared the official anthem in 1957.

Athletes in Both Summer and Winter Olympics: Only six athletes have earned a medal at both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Talk about versatility!

Olympic Village Secrets: The Olympic Village is always buzzing with excitement. Athletes from different countries get to mingle, share stories, and sometimes even form lifelong friendships.
