Bet on Olympics 2024 with bitcoin & crypto at Cloudbet

Olympics 2024, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, will be held in Paris, France. This will mark the third time Paris has hosted the Summer Olympics, having previously done so in 1900 and 1924. The Paris 2024 Olympics will celebrate the centenary of the city’s hosting of the 1924 Games, bringing a historic touch to the event.

Background and history to Olympics 2024

The journey to Paris 2024 began in 2015 when the city announced its bid, eventually being named host in 2017. The French capital was initially competing against Los Angeles, Budapest, Hamburg, and Rome before the other European cities pulled out, leaving Paris to contest the outcome with Los Angeles.  

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) subsequently announced that it would award hosting of the 2024 and 2028 Games to each city, provided the cities’ leaders could decide who would go first. Paris won the 2024 Games after its American rival withdrew, settling for the 2028 edition. 

The 2024 Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, featuring over 10,000 athletes from 206 countries around the world. They will compete in 45 sports, including additions like surfing, skateboarding, breaking and sport climbing. Breaking, or break dancing, will make its debut as an Olympic sport in Paris. 

Paris aims to deliver an inclusive and environmentally responsible Olympic Games, with a significant focus on reducing carbon emissions and promoting urban development. French organizers have pledged to halve the event’s carbon footprint compared to the average of previous summer Olympics.
