“I don’t know if it is an Olympic record but there were 500,000 people along the route,” Paris 2024 spokeswoman Anne Descamps told reporters at a daily briefing on Sunday, citing figures from the Paris police department. So-called “fan zones” around the city have also been regularly full, with thousands of people cheering on new local heroes such as swimmer Leon Marchand and veteran winners like judoka Teddy Riner.
