Paris: France launched a red carpet for the Olympic flag on Monday, with the hosts of the next 2024 matches that promised to make sports spectacles open for the masses after the Tokyo hit pandemic match behind the door closed.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo waved the flag she was handed over to Tokyo during the delivery ceremony when she stepped out of the plane to take home some of the country’s last athletes.
The 2024 games will be “something very positive for our country.
They come at a good time,” Hidalgo told reporters.
Paris said he had learned a lot of lessons from Tokyo’s experience.
Pending by one year and raised by Covid-19 prevention that is strict as a transmitted variant soaring back to all over the world, the match 2020 fell short of victory and the wants of Japan’s wants.
At the Sunday delivery ceremony, Paris tried to change the tone.
Several thousand sports fans resembled the fan zone under the shadows of the eiffel tower, rejan and cheered when some Tokyo medalists bounced on the rock blating music stage.
“We want to find a way to open the game to people,” said Head of Paris Games Tony Esguet on Friday.
“Our focus is taking sports from traditional space and placing competition in the heart of the most famous city landmarks,” Usangu, Olympic Canoe Champion three times, added.
Bringing games closer to people will lead to security challenges in a country that has suffered waves of attacks in the hands of Islamic militants or attackers inspired by jihadists in recent years.
More than 250 people were killed.
In the nod to violate the old-for-TV format, the Paris 2024 game organizer has been working for the last year to take the opening ceremony from the Olympic Stadium and to the heart of Paris.
For the first time, amateur runners will participate in the marathon, road cycling fans will cycle of course after the Olympics and sailing fans may be able to do battle in real-time with their sports heroes.
“We need to balance the Olympic tradition with creativity and innovation,” Etugolong said.
Nobody knows whether the world will conquer pandemics within three years.
Estraggu told Reuters in February that Paris 2024 was working on his own emergency plan.
Not all of them have become the path of Paris.
City offers to fly a giant flag of the Eiffel Tower and set a first world record for 2024 matches foiled on Sunday by the wind.
