The Tokyo Olympics 2021 draws nearer and nearer, and several countries are confirming their teams and athletes for the 33 different sports. However, we’ve witnessed many athletes bowing out of the games, on account of COVID-19. But for the Irish equestrian dressage team, they withdrew from the competition in controversial fashion. IRISH DRESSAGE TEAM STILL WANT TO MAKE IT TO TOKYO OLYMPICS 2021 The Irish equestrian team did not compete in the jumping event since 2004, and will return to the Games in Tokyo. However, their team withdrew from the competition after certain key players cannot compete. Former Olympian and European Champion Judy Reynolds announced she’s retiring her horse, Vancouver K. Vancouver K is Ireland’s top Grand Prix horse, and his absence will be felt. Kate Dwyer, who won a five-star Grand Prix in Qatar, won’t travel to Tokyo either since she’s pregnant. The remaining teammates, Dane Rawlins and James Connor, have made a legal appeal to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics 2021. Horse Sport Ireland?s Dressage High Performance Director (HPD) Johann Hinnemann decided not to send a jumping team at all, but Rawlins and Connor have a novel idea. They want to form a different trio comprising the two of them and Heike Holstein. At 49, not only is she a veteran but competed in three Olympic Games. She could really carry this team to not just their first dressage event in seventeen years, but also a medal. Connor and Rawlins apparently approached a lawyer [https://horsesport.com/horse-news/horse-sport-ireland-faces-legal-challenge-after-giving-back-tokyo-place/] and appealed their situation. However, they are running out of time as the deadline for the participants to meet the Olympic Minimum Eligibility Requirement passed a week ago. Do you think they will make it to Tokyo this year? WHO ELSE FROM IRELAND WILL GO TO TOKYO? While dressage is probably going for a toss, Ireland will still compete in the remaining Olympic equestrian events. Teams for eventing and jumping are announced and they’re ready to show up and steal the show in Tokyo. The eventing team includes: Cathal Daniels, Sarah Ennis, Sam Watson, Austin O’Connor (reserve) and Joseph Murphy (reserve). From this team, O’Connor and Murphy have competed in the Olympic Games before. The jumping team includes: Bertram Allen, Darragh Kenny, Cian O’Connor, Shane Sweetnam (alternate) and Michael Duffy (reserve). From this squad, Kenny is ranked #7 in the world, while Cian O’Connor is the only former Olympian in the team.

The Irish equestrian team for the Tokyo Olympics 2021 withdraws from the dressage event, causing legal action to be taken against them.

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>

<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.
