12-time Olympic medalist, Ryan Lochte, is a popular name in the swimming world, and one can say in the women, too. Being one of the biggest stars of the 2012 Summer Olympics, Ryan is a self-proclaimed ladies’ man. In 2013, he starred in his own show called ‘What would Ryan Lochte Do?’ which followed the swimmer as he attempted to date different women. Once, in a 2012 interview at Today Show, Ryan’s mother went on record to state that her son is not really interested in relationships. According to her, Ryan was more interested in one-night stands. Ryan had to later justify his mom’s statement. RYAN LOCHTE WAS MORE THAN WHAT HE APPEARED TO BE Lochte is the second most decorated swimmer in Olympic history behind Michael Phelps [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-phelps/]. Needless to say, getting enough attention from the public is something that he never found to be a problem. Ryan’s mom was pretty direct when she spoke about her son’s romantic escapades. She stated, [https://www.businessinsider.com/ryan-lochte-one-night-stands-2012-8?IR=T] “he goes out on one-night stands. He’s not able to give fully to a relationship because he’s always on the go.” Read More > Millions Worth Sponsors Abandoned US Swimmer Ryan Lochte, After His Infamous Behavior in 2016 – [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-swimming-news-millions-worth-sponsors-abandoned-us-swimmer-ryan-lochte-after-his-infamous-behavior-in-2016/] While she may have confused her wording, her sentiment regarding her son’s relationship seemed clear. While every mother would want to see their children get settled, it is no surprise that she is not accustomed to the newer dating trends of the world. Explaining himself and his mom, Ileana’s words, in a later interview, Ryan stated [https://www.eonline.com/news/335258/ryan-lochte-tries-to-explain-mom-s-one-night-stands-remarks], “She meant I go on a lot of dates. She didn’t mean anything negative.

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.
