<h2 style="text-align: center">A brief introduction to Paris Olympics 2024</h2>
In 2024, the world's attention will turn to Paris as the iconic city is going to host the prestigious Olympic Games. The Paris Olympics 2024 mark a significant moment, as the Games return to the French capital for the first time in a century. With a legacy dating back to the 1900 and 1924 Olympics, Paris proudly continues its tradition of welcoming athletes and spectators worldwide.Â 

Renowned for its rich history, cultural vibrancy, and passion for sport, the stage of Paris is all set for an unforgettable celebration of athleticism and unity. As the curtains will very soon open for the Paris Olympics 2024, it is predicted that these games will leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">When are the Olympic Games and who all will be there?</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 dates are scheduled from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The event will draw billions of worldwide viewers, with approximately 350,000 hours of TV broadcast coverage. Millions of spectators are anticipated to attend various events across the 41 venues in Paris.

Around 10,500 athletes from all over the world will participate in various sports and events during the games. The French team is automatically qualified as the host country. But, other teams have to win the world championship, their confederation's tournament, or be among the top 17 in the Olympic Ranking List for the Paris Olympics 2024 qualification.Â 

Additionally, approximately 20,000 accredited journalists will be covering the event, providing global updates and insights to audiences. Volunteers, numbering around 31,500, will assist in various capacities to ensure the smooth running of the games.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 brings something new!</h2>
Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community.Â 

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos.Â 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic).Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit.Â 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.Â 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024Â Â </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing.Â 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (Â£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (Â£13) for the Paralympic games.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>
Though the Paris Olympics will go from July 26-Aug to 11, 2024, but the Opening Ceremony for the games will take place on July 26. There will be various events such as handball, rugby, soccer, and archery starting on July 24 and 25.

NBC and Peacock will broadcast live Olympic events, including finals in track, field, swimming, and gymnastics, both morning and afternoon. NBC will provide nine hours of daily daytime coverage. Also, there will be an enhanced three-hour primetime show in every night during the games. These will feature behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and athlete insights.

Also, Peacock will stream all sports and events live during the Summer Olympics, a first for the streaming service, alongside GOLF Channel, USA Network, Telemundo, CNBC, E!, and Universo.

Equestrian made its Olympic bow in 1900, but it was only in 1912 that it became a regular part of the Olympic fold. Along with sailing, equestrian remains one of two Olympic sports without a designated mixed tag that features men and women in direct competition with each other. Furthermore, it is one of the few Olympic sports to feature animals.

Equestrian at the Olympic Games comprises three distinct events: i.e. Dressage, Eventing, and Jumping. 

Dressage sees the horse walk, run, trot or just move sideways, in circles, or in a particular direction. Accuracy, grace, and the ability of the horse and rider in each routine result in points being awarded.

 Jumping sees horses take to a course and complete jumps across 12-15 obstacles with finesse and in a given time frame. 

The Eventing is considered as Equestrian's triathlon as it features the other two events as part of its routine. Besides Dressing and Jumping, it features the Cross-Country element. This course consists of multiple obstacles, like fences, water traps, and hedges. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Competition Format</h2>
Eventing, regarded as the event's triathlon, sees 65 riders' journeys to gold begin with the Dressage, followed by the Cross-Country and the Jumping rounds. While this is all for team competition, the individual competition requires each Equestrian in the top 25 to perform a second jump. The medalist is the one with the least penalty points at the end of the competition's final phase. 

Dressage will start with a Grand Prix from where both teams and individuals <a href="https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/sports/equestrian/">advance</a> based on their performance. Officials divide 60 athletes into 6 batches to compete across 6 heats.

While teams (top 8) advance to the Grand Prix Special, individuals (top 18) advance to the Grand Prix Freestyle. In the individual competition, the top two of each heat and the next six highest-ranked athletes advance. 

Jumping starts with the individual competition featuring a field of 75 Equestrians. The horses and riders take to an obstacle course and must jump all of them. Riders with the least penalty points (time delays, knocking an obstacle, disobedience, etc).

In the final, the 30 remaining individual jockeys, and 10 best team combinations, take to a unique course to contest for the medals.

Equestrian: Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021

Equestrian: Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021 Equestrian made its Olympic bow in 1900, but it was only in 1912 that it became a regular part of the Olympic fold. Along with sailing, equestrian remains one of two Olympic sports without a designated mixed tag that features men and women in direct competition with each other. Furthermore, it is one of the few Olympic sports to feature animals.  USA&#8217;s Steffen Peters on Legolas 92 salutes the judge after performing his routine during the Equestrian&#8217;s Dressage Grand Prix team final event of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at the Olympic Equestrian Centre in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 12, 2016. / AFP / John MACDOUGALL (Photo credit should read JOHN MACDOUGALL/AFP via Getty Images) The most decorated Equestrian is Germany&#8217;s Isabell Werth with 10 medals (6 Gold, 4 Silver). Germany is the most decorated country at the Equestrian with 52 medals (25 Gold, 13 Silver, 14 Bronze). She will be one of the names to watch out for in the Team Dressage event where she is part of the defending gold medalists&#8217; line-up.  Equestrian at Tokyo Olympics 2020 At the Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021, Equestrian will see six medals up for grabs. These are for the Eventing (Team and Individual), Dressage (Team and Individual), and Jumping (Team and Individual) Top Names at Equestrian at the 2021 Olympics USA&#8217;s jumping team will see Jessica Springsteen (Don Juan van de Donkhoeve), Laura Kraut (Baloutinue), Kent Farrington (Gazelle), and McLain Ward (Contagious) take to the arena for the Dressage.  Read More: How High is US Olympian Jessica Springsteen Ranked in the World Equestrian Rankings? In eventing, team USA will see Phillip Dutton (Z), Boyd Martin (Luke 140), Doug Payne (Vandiver). Meanwhile, in dressage, the three-member team of Adrienne Lyle (Salvino), Steffen Peters (Suppenkasper) Sabine Schut-Kerry (Sanceo) will take to the arena.  RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL &#8211; AUGUST 09: Gold medallist Michael Jung of Germany poses during the medal ceremony for the eventing Individual final on Day 4 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at the Olympic Equestrian Centre on August 9, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images) Germany&#8217;s Michael Jung (Chipmunk) will look for his third consecutive individual eventing gold medal. His only Olympic blip was the team eventing silver at Rio 2016. Given that second-place showing, he will have added motivation to take Germany to the top step of the podium in Tokyo.  Read more: Tokyo Olympics 2020: List of Officials for Equestrian Revealed Britain&#8217;s Charlotte Dujardin (Pumpkin) will seek to win her third gold in dressage.
