PARIS: The buildup to the Paris Olympics entered its final year on Wednesday as International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said the preparations were well on track.
The president of the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday formally invited the world's nations but not Russia or its military ally Belarus to gather in one year in Paris for the Olympics — launching the final countdown to the 2024 Games against the backdrop of war in Ukraine.
PARIS : Despite July temperatures in Paris sometimes rising above 40 degrees, the International Olympic Committee president is confident that athletes will sleep comfortably in their non-airconditioned accommodation at next year's Games, he said on Tuesday.
PARIS: French luxury brand LVMH announced on Monday it will be a “premium sponsor” of the 2024 Paris Olympics, allowing the organizers to practically reach their sponsorship target of €1.24 billion ($1.37 billion).

PARIS: As riots raged around France earlier this month, infrastructure for next year’s Paris Olympics risked becoming engulfed in the violence, adding a fresh worry for organizers who face a head-spinning list of security challenges one year before the Games start. Surveillance was increased around the under-construction Olympic athletes’ village, media center and swimming complex which are in the deprived Seine-Saint-Denis area of northeast Paris, one of the hotspots of the rioting. In the end, a building which will house a training pool suffered minor damage to its facade when an adjacent bus depot went up in flames and an attempted arson attack on the media center was thwarted by two alert security guards. “We were very close to having a major problem,” Nicolas Ferrand, head of the Solideo organization in charge of Olympics construction work, said afterwards. The chaotic street scenes were an unwelcome reminder of last year’s Champions League final in Paris, which was held at the national stadium in Seine-Saint-Denis that will host the athletics events at the Olympics. Gangs of youths preyed on football fans attending the 2022 climax to the European football season, many of whom were assaulted and robbed as they made their way out of the stadium. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach this week sought to reassure people planning to travel to Paris. “We are very confident that the Games can and will happen in a peaceful environment,” he told reporters.
GENEVA: The key factor in weighing the IOC’s ultimate decision on letting Russians participate at the 2024 Paris Games is how well athletes behave in international competitions, the Olympic body’s president Thomas Bach said Tuesday.
