Medal standings

Unofficial national team standings based on the number of medals won by athletes throughout the 2024 Olympics. Teams are ranked by the number of medals won by the team.

Olympics 2024: Types of sports

The Olympic Games program will include 28 + 4 sports (40 disciplines). In order to attract the attention of a young audience, the IOC decided to present such disciplines as breakdancing, surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing once.

Olympic Games 2024 (Olympics 2024) are the 33rd Summer Olympic Games and the 3rd Games to be held in Paris, France, under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The competition is scheduled to take place between July 26 and August 11, 2024.

New sports venues will be built in Paris to host athletes from around the world. The main venue will be the suburb of Saint-Denis, where a new stadium will be built and existing facilities will be renovated and modernized.

In addition, other areas will be renovated and expanded, including swimming pools, gymnasiums and basketball courts. The city will turn iconic historical landmarks into sports arenas, and the highlight will be a wooden stadium that will set a new standard in green building. All of this will allow athletes to perform at their best and set new records.

The 2024 Olympic Games logo has been presented to both praise and ridicule on social media. The design shows the Olympic flame inside a gold medal, as well as the hair and lips of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic.

Organizers say the logo combines iconic symbols of sport, the Olympics and France. But some joked it would be more suited to a hair salon. The gold medal symbolizes the “pursuit of excellence” and the flame, they said, “reflects the unique energy” of the games.

Olympics 2024: Slogan

The slogan “Games Wide Open” was officially announced by the organizing committee at the end of July 2022. It symbolizes equality between the sexes and emphasizes the Olympics’ readiness to include new sports. Breakdancers will compete at the Games for the first time.

The Olympic Torch Relay will take place in France from May 8, 2024. The flame will be lit on April 16, 2024, and it will be brought to Marseille on the legendary three-masted ship Belem.

The Russian national team has been competing at the Olympic Games since 1900, but we will most likely not be represented in Paris, as our country was not officially invited to the Olympics for political reasons. International sports organizations as well as National Olympic Committees try to deny the right of Russian athletes to perform under the flag of their country, and this affects the prestige of the games and the value of medals.

President of the Russian Olympic Committee Stanislav Pozdnyakov:

Banning athletes from professional activities is unfair competition. Lausanne takes one side of the political conflict. And changing the Olympic Charter is an example of the fact that the Olympic movement can no longer withstand political pressure. Our athletes are not expected at the Olympics, and those who manage to get there under a neutral flag will be guaranteed neither security nor fair judging.

Olympics 2024: Medals

On February 8, 2024, the Olympic and Paralympic medals were presented by the organizer of the games. The peculiarity of these medals is the metal, which was taken from the main symbol of the capital – the Eiffel Tower. That is, the medals are an alloy of ordinary metal with gold, silver and bronze, respectively.
