On the program? 329 medal events in 32 sports, includingathletics, swimming, judo, table tennis, breakdance, skateboarding, surfing, climbing and basketball. All summer long, the City of Lights will be the place to be for sport, but also for celebration, with a host of festivities and events of all kinds.

Numerous delegations will also be in Paris for the occasion. This is particularly true of the Canadian Olympic Committee, which has revealed the Paris venue it has chosen for the temporary home of its Canada Olympic House (COH ) at the 2024 Games. And the Canadian Olympic Committee has set its sights on the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie.
