LONDON, Canada: As the lights go out on an outstanding Olympic Games in Paris, it’s important to remember the Games aren’t over - it’s just the halfway mark.
While the closing ceremony on Aug 11 seemed like the end of the event with the official handover to Los Angeles for 2028, the 2024 Games were really just on pause.
This two-week break between Olympic and Paralympic Games isn’t a respite at all. Paris was getting ready to host the Paralympic Games, which began on Wednesday (Aug 28) with the opening ceremony.
In two weeks, a whole new set of elite international athletes descended on Paris for the third largest sporting event in the world.
