PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES 2024: all you need to know

The Summer Olympics are returning to Paris after 100 years. The last time the French capital hosted the international competition was in 1924, when there were 22 sports.

This time, there will be 32, including one that’s making its Olympics debut.

Also, for the first time in Summer Games’ history, the Olympics Opening Ceremony won’t be held in a stadium. Instead, organisers are planning to parade a flotilla of boats down the Seine that runs through the heart of the city.

You can catch all the Olympic action on SuperSport..
