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 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>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Mikaela Shiffrin In 2024: Net Worth, Salary &amp; Endorsements</h2>
[caption id="attachment_924821" align="alignnone" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-924821" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1369461146-473x315.jpg" alt="Mikaela Shiffrin" width="473" height="315" /> YANQING, CHINA - FEBRUARY 09: Mikaela Shiffrin of Team United States reacts prior to the Women's Slalom Run 1 on day five of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games at National Alpine Ski Centre on February 09, 2022 in Yanqing, China. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: left">How much is Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s Net Worth in 2024? Know the answer</h2>
Olympic gold medal holder Mikaela Shiffrin has officially cemented her status as the greatest skier in history. After winning her 87th Alpine skiing World Cup race, she broke Ingemar Stenmark's record, which was 86, in March 2023. Shiffrin's net worth subsequently saw an increase and is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be $3 million.
Shiffrin's 53 World Cup victories added a substantial amount to her total prize money, which is currently a remarkable $1.04 million. Her status as the sport's record holder was strengthened by her achievement, which created a new turning point in the Alpine World Cup's history.
Shiffrin's first biggest income came during the 2018-19 season when she won the women's overall World Cup championship, which she still holds. That season, her earnings reached $958,000. Interestingly, there's a profound story that lies behind the most successful alpine skier. She also makes a lot of money thanks to big deals with Atomic and Barilla. Other partners include Adidas, Oakley, Usana, Longines, Visa, and Reusch.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Where was she born? Know about her early life, parents, and more </h2>
Born to Eileen and Jeff Shiffrin on March 13, 1995, Shiffrin was brought up in Vail, Colorado. Her skiing roots came from her father who was a skier himself when he was young. He raced for Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Having an elder brother who attended Burke Mountain Academy in northeastern Vermont, she very much stole the limelight even when she was young.
At the age of 14, she won her first titles at the Topolino Games in Italy for both the slalom and GS. She continued her success by winning the slalom bronze medal at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships held in Switzerland. From there, her career skyrocketed to far greater heights.
Mikaela Shiffrin's father Jeff Shiffrin was an anesthesiologist whereas her mother Eileen was once an ICU nurse. Shiffrin's parents, too, were skiing enthusiasts and had bonded over their shared love for the sport. When their children were born, they passed it down to them as well. Shiffrin has an older brother named Taylor Shiffrin. These two siblings were born just 2.5 years apart.

<div class="jsx-1883686743">
Though Taylor did not compete at the Olympic level like his sister, he did ski during his college days at the University of Denver. He was a part of the NCAA Championship team twice, in 2014 and 2016 respectively. As the siblings trained together, they have "friendly sibling rivalry" and bring out the best in each other. But unlike his sister, Taylor made his career in the tech industry. However, even in the tech world, some of his projects revolve around the snow world.
Mikaela's family is the backbone of her career. Her skier parents had started training the siblings when Mikaela was still a toddler. They had even formulated a training plan for the kids. When Mikaela started competing professionally, which required a lot of traveling, Eileen put her nursing career to rest. Eileen traveled with the rising talent as one of her coaches. With her dedication and overall family support, Mikaela is now a world-class skier.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Mikaela Shiffrin skiing career so far: A look into her success on the ice</h2>
At the start of her career, Shiffrin achieved a string of remarkable triumphs, starting at the astonishingly young age of 16. She made headlines when she won her first slalom championship at the US National Championships in Winter Park, Colorado, becoming the sport's youngest champion ever. Then, in December 2012, she achieved her first World Cup victory in Sweden, which was her breakout moment. But Shiffrin's real breakthrough came in 2014, when she won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, sealing her place in Olympic history as the youngest slalom winner ever.
Shiffrin's versatility was obvious when she won a flurry of gold at the World Championships. She particularly excelled in events in Beaver Creek, St. Moritz, Are, and Cortina d'Ampezzo, solidifying her place among the sport's top athletes. Her most notable accomplishment in the giant slalom came at the Olympics, where she won the highly sought-after gold medal.
Shiffrin displayed remarkable skill in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, winning both the gold and the silver in the slalom and the combined events, establishing herself as one of the world's best slalom competitors. Shiffrin won her fourth World Cup championship in 2022 with a relatively modest five victories, but even with her incredible achievements.
In the following season, Shiffrin came back in full form and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-alpine-skiing-news-respect-and-admiration-sports-world-bows-down-to-american-skiing-champ-mikaela-shiffrin-as-she-makes-history/" target="_self" rel="noopener">etched her name in history.</a> At 28, she cemented her standing as a skiing G.O.A.T by winning the overall and slalom titles with unmatched grace, and by securing the giant slalom crystal globe. Her 14th World Cup victory was a perfect end to a year with her World Cup surpassing Stenmark (86) and former compatriot Lindsey Vonn (82).
Meanwhile, Shiffrin has kicked off the year 2024 on a great note by securing her 95th World Cup win and achieving a milestone 150th career podium with a victorious slalom performance in Jasna, Slovakia. She now has nine more World Cup wins than Stenmark's previous best mark. Shiffrin achieved the feat by beatingÂ Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic by just 0.14 seconds.

(Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) How much is Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s Net Worth in 2024? Know the answer Olympic gold medal holder Mikaela Shiffrin has officially cemented her status as the greatest skier in history. After winning her 87th Alpine skiing World Cup race, she broke Ingemar Stenmark&#8217;s record, which was 86, in March 2023. Shiffrin&#8217;s net worth subsequently saw an increase and is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be $3 million. Shiffrin&#8217;s 53 World Cup victories added a substantial amount to her total prize money, which is currently a remarkable $1.04 million. Her status as the sport&#8217;s record holder was strengthened by her achievement, which created a new turning point in the Alpine World Cup&#8217;s history. Shiffrin&#8217;s first biggest income came during the 2018-19 season when she won the women&#8217;s overall World Cup championship, which she still holds. That season, her earnings reached $958,000. Interestingly, there&#8217;s a profound story that lies behind the most successful alpine skier. She also makes a lot of money thanks to big deals with Atomic and Barilla. Other partners include Adidas, Oakley, Usana, Longines, Visa, and Reusch. Where was she born? Know about her early life, parents, and more Born to Eileen and Jeff Shiffrin on March 13, 1995, Shiffrin was brought up in Vail, Colorado. Her skiing roots came from her father who was a skier himself when he was young. He raced for Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Having an elder brother who attended Burke Mountain Academy in northeastern Vermont, she very much stole the limelight even when she was young. At the age of 14, she won her first titles at the Topolino Games in Italy for both the slalom and GS. She continued her success by winning the slalom bronze medal at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships held in Switzerland. From there, her career skyrocketed to far greater heights. Mikaela Shiffrin&#8217;s father Jeff Shiffrin was an anesthesiologist whereas her mother Eileen was once an ICU nurse. Shiffrin&#8217;s parents, too, were skiing enthusiasts and had bonded over their shared love for the sport. When their children were born, they passed it down to them as well. Shiffrin has an older brother named Taylor Shiffrin. These two siblings were born just 2.5 years apart. Though Taylor did not compete at the Olympic level like his sister, he did ski during his college days at the University of Denver. He was a part of the NCAA Championship team twice, in 2014 and 2016 respectively. As the siblings trained together, they have &#8220;friendly sibling rivalry&#8221; and bring out the best in each other. But unlike his sister, Taylor made his career in the tech industry. However, even in the tech world, some of his projects revolve around the snow world. Mikaela&#8217;s family is the backbone of her career. Her skier parents had started training the siblings when Mikaela was still a toddler. They had even formulated a training plan for the kids. When Mikaela started competing professionally, which required a lot of traveling, Eileen put her nursing career to rest. Eileen traveled with the rising talent as one of her coaches. With her dedication and overall family support, Mikaela is now a world-class skier. Mikaela Shiffrin skiing career so far: A look into her success on the ice At the start of her career, Shiffrin achieved a string of remarkable triumphs, starting at the astonishingly young age of 16.

Then, in December 2012, she achieved her first World Cup victory in Sweden, which was her breakout moment.
