<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.

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

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h3>
Olympic sprinting legend Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce was born on December 27, 1986, in Kingston, Jamaica. Even at 34, she has been stunning the world with her blazing speed. Shelly-Ann recently became the world's third-fastest woman in 100m events. Track and field star started her Olympics journey back in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics. Shelly-Ann came from a humble family background, nevertheless, nothing ever stopped her from reaching the top.

[caption id="attachment_748344" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-748344" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-26T193129Z_903748170_UP1EH8Q1I8F8L_RTRMADP_3_ATHLETICS-DIAMOND-LAUSANNE.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1302" /> Athletics - Diamond League - Lausanne - Lausanne, Switzerland - August 26, 2021 Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce celebrates winning the women's 100m final REUTERS/Denis Balibouse[/caption]

Currently, Shelly-Ann's net worth is close to $4 million. She has earned the same through various sports endorsements and sponsorships. Shelly-Ann's biggest endorsement deal is with Puma. In the year 2021, Fraser-Pryce signed a deal with HUMBL, a digital money network based in San Diego, California. She also has deals with Digicel, Grace Kennedy, and Nike. Almost a decade ago, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce launched a business by the name "Chic Hair Ja" and also has a hair salon called Lady Shelly in Jamaica.
<h3>Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's early life</h3>
Shelly-Ann was born on December 27, 1986, to her parents Orane Fraser and Maxine Simpson. She grew up in the impoverished and violence-laden Waterhouse district of Kingston, Jamaica. Shelly-Ann was brought up by her mother, who was an unlicensed street vendor, and a former athlete, along with two brothers. Shelly-Ann started competing in track and field events at the age of 10 when she was in primary school. When Fraser was 16 years old and in high school at the Wolmer’s High School for Girls, she ran 100 meters in 11.57 seconds.

During her college years, while attending the University of Technology in Kingston, she placed fifth at the national championships and earned a silver medal at the world championships in 2007. Fraser made a sudden breakthrough in 2008, by winning the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in the 100-meter race. This breakthrough was a surprising one, despite the fact that she was being coached by Stephen Francis, who had guided Jamaica’s Asafa Powell to four men’s 100-meter world records.
<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce's Athletics Career</h3>
Remarkably, Shelly-Ann was a gifted sprinter from a very young age. She used to run barefoot in her primary school. At 16, she clinched the bronze medal in Inter-Secondary Schools Boys and Girls Championships. In 2006, she joined the University of Technology, Jamaica, and started coaching under Stephen Francis. At 20, she finished in the 5th position in 100m at the Jamaican National Senior Championships.

Shelly-Ann made her international debut on the European athletics circuit. Her moment of spotlight came when she shocked everyone by finishing the second position at the Jamaican Olympic trials for the Beijing Olympics 2008.

And then Shelly-Ann created history at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. She became the first Jamaican woman to win the gold medal in the 100m race at the Olympics. Even after bumps and hurdles post-2008 and before 2012, Shelly-Ann reached the mega-quadrennial games in London.

In 2022, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce bagged her fifth World Athletics Championships title after winning the 100m race. She also captured silver medals in the 200 meters and the 4*100-metre relay. Her last major 200m race was at the World Athletics Championships, in 2022. Now, Fraser is concentrating on the 100m for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics, which will be her fifth Olympics. The track and field legend has hinted that she might be retiring after the 2024 Olympics.
