The Paris 2024 Olympic Games is decidedly the Olympiad that intends to shake up the codes of this iconic sporting competition. As the City of Light hosts this major event for the first time in a century, we were able to discover the first out-of-stadium ceremony inthe history of the Modern Olympic Games, as well as the first fuel-free Olympic cauldron . The medals are unique in that they are set with a piece of the Eiffel Tower, while the reverse side features the famous Parisian monument in the background of the design imposed by the IOC.
It's also the first time that amateur athletes have had the opportunity to take part in an Olympic event: the marathon! Male and female runners covered the distance of 42.195 km, across a course linking Paris to the Château de Versailles during the marathon for all held on Saturday evening, August 10, 2024. Now it's up to Paralympic athletes to compete over the queen distance in the Paralympic Marathon.
