The Olympic Games here in Paris runs from July 26, 2024, to August 11, a short, sharp 17-day (inclusive) run of two-and-a-half weeks.
Its official name is: Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, which if you know your Roman Numerals/studied Latin at school indicates it’s the 33rd iteration of the event, though ‘Paris 2024’ is a bit easier.
There have been around 45,000 volunteers worldwide working on the Games, who were chosen from around 300,000 applicants.
