TL;DR: 🎉 The 2024 Summer Olympics is set to have Paris, France, hosting for the third time in history, a feat matched only by London. 💪🗼 As we fast forward to 26th July-11th August 2024, we’ll get to witness the first ever breakdancing Olympic event 💃💥 and the last Games under the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach. 🎖️👋 On a darker note, controversies cloud the scene over the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. 💔🤔
Full Story:
Step aside, traditional sports! The 2024 Summer Olympics, also known as Paris 2024, will be breaking new ground by introducing breakdancing as an official event. 💃🔥 Just imagine those nifty headspins and popping-and-locking moves amidst the usual races and vaults. And before you ask, no, we’re not making this up! 🙅♂️💯
If Paris was a person, she’d be totally showing off right now, being only the second city to host the Summer Olympics for the third time. 👑🗼 Joining London in this elite club, Paris is set to mark the centenary of Paris 1924 in a grand style. Now, isn’t that a tres chic way to celebrate a hundred-year anniversary? 🎂💫
And while we are excited about all of that, there’s still a gloomy cloud hovering over the Games. 😞🌩️ The ongoing controversy around Russian and Belarusian athletes’ participation casts a shadow on the event. Will they compete? Will they not? And, if they do, under what flag? 🏁🤷♀️
Speaking of flags and nationalities, it’s worth mentioning that these Games will be the first of three successive Summer Olympics to use only two official languages: English and French. 🇬🇧🇫🇷 But wait, isn’t diversity the spirit of the Olympics? 🌍💭
On a closing note, we bid adieu to IOC President Thomas Bach, as this will be the last Olympic Games held under his presidency. 👋😢 What legacy will he leave behind, and who will step up to the podium next? 🎖️🔮
Oh, and before we forget, did we mention the budget for this mega event is expected to be a cool $8.5 billion? 💸💰 What does this mean for the host city’s economy, especially post the global events of the past years? Is it a risky gamble or a worthy investment? 💹🎲
Before we wrap up, let’s remember that the path to hosting these Games wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. 🌳🚶♂️ Paris, Hamburg, Budapest, Rome, and Los Angeles were the contenders. However, due to a combination of withdrawals, fiscal difficulties, political uncertainty, and deterring costs, only Paris and Los Angeles remained standing. 💔🏆
But hey, all’s well that ends well, right? Paris clinched the 2024 spot, and LA will take the baton for 2028. 🥇🎉 So, will Paris deliver an unforgettable spectacle, and how will LA plan to top that? 🌠🏙️
As we countdown to Paris 2024, remember, no matter who wins or loses, it’s all about that Olympic spirit, unity in diversity, and the love for sports! ❤️🌎🏅
And now, we’ll leave you with a little question: Do you think the introduction of breakdancing will open the floodgates for more contemporary events in future Olympics? And what other unusual events would you like to see? 😄🏄♂️🎈
