Check out the design for the torch that will travel to France for the 2024 ParisOlympics and Paralympics.
The Olympic cauldron will go out at the Closing Ceremony, but the torch will continue on. It will light in Stoke Mandeville, England, the symbolic home of the Paralympic Games, and begin a new relay heading into the Paralympic Opening Ceremony on Aug. 28, 2024.
“This object embodies every edition of the Games,” Estanguet said. “When we look back at history, every torch is more beautiful than the others, each one with its own uniqueness. Every country tries to showcase its creativity and we can see that. It’s an aesthetic object that says something.” In all, 11,000 people – 10,000 for the Olympics and 1,000 for the Paralympics – will carry 2,000 torches. In past Games, there was a torch for each torchbearer.
