Can’t go to Paris to cheer on Team Philippines? No worries! You can scream your lungs out as our national athletes compete against the world’s best while in the comfort of your home—beer in one hand, a slice of pizza in another, and a bucket of popcorn on your lap.
Teams have also taken it upon themselves to do their share in greening the event, such as Thailand’s national team, whose jerseys are made from recycled bottles, and Team Japan and their eco-friendly team uniforms.
The program is reported to have 12 different sections, with an estimated 3,000 dancers, singers, and entertainers positioned on both banks of the Seine, bridges, and nearby monuments.
The Post takes a closer look into the costs it takes to mount the world’s biggest sporting event, and compels one to ask: Bragging rights aside—after all, only very few cities in the world can lay claim to being an Olympic host—but is it all worth it?
It's the first of July—which means the 2024 Summer Olympics Games is but a few weeks away! With this, host city Paris is now decked in Olympic-themed decorations from the Eiffel tower to hilly Montmartre.
But even among these athletes—the best of the best—there are those that are just built differently and occupy a completely different league. This group of athletes are Olympians—gods among mortals—in the truest sense of the world.
