This year, from July 26 to August 11, the 33rd Summer Olympics will be held in Paris, France. In this Olympics, 200 nationalities will show their skills in 32 events. Following are details about the Paris Olympics.


100 years later

After hosting the Olympics in 1900 and 1924, Paris will hold for the third time this year. Paris will become the second city to host the Olympics three times in a single area after London, and the meaning of the third Olympics after 100 years is significant. Celebrating the return of the Olympic Games in France, the medal of each game is embellished with an original piece of the Eiffel Tower. Recently, the demolition of the Eiffel Tower has been under discussion, so the Olympic medal of Paris 2024 is more meaningful. The mascot of Paris 2024 is ‘Phryge.’ The design of ‘Phryge’ is inspired by the ‘Phrygian cap’ worn by the civilian army during the French Revolution. It shows France as a symbol of freedom.페인팅, 사람, 의류, 예술이(가) 표시된 사진  자동 생성된 설명새, 만화 영화, 카민이(가) 표시된 사진  자동 생성된 설명
