With big goals and gambles, Paris aims to reset the Olympics with audacious Games and a wow opening

Associated Press  

PARIS — Paris has long been a city of dreamers: Just look at the Eiffel Tower, for decades the world’s loftiest structure. Spectator seats line the Seine river in front of the Musee d'Orsay ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, July 17, 2024, in Paris. Police check the public for credentials to enter a security perimeter near the Eiffel Tower ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Saturday, July 20, 2024, in Paris. The decision not to stage the opening ceremony in the traditional setting of France’s biggest stadium — the Stade de France that was among the 2015 attackers’ targets and is now the venue for Olympic track and field and rugby sevens — and to host skateboarding, archery and other sports in temporary arenas in the heart of Paris have made safeguarding the Games more complex. Athletes play at the Tour Eiffel stadium that will host the Beach Volleyball on the Champs-de-Mars, at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Wednesday July 24 2024.
