It might just seem as if the Tokyo Summer Olympics ended in 2021, but already the 2024 Paris Olympics are in sight.
How will the Paris Olympics be different?
It won’t take long for Paris to do something no other host city has. For the opening ceremony, the city will transport athletes by boat along the Seine River during the traditional Parade of Nations.Boats will go by relics such as the Louvre and Notre-Dame before ending at the Trocadero, which is across from the Eiffel Tower.
It is there where the remaining elements of the opening ceremony — such as speeches, the arrival of the torch and lighting of the flame — will take place. It will be the first time the opening ceremony won’t be held in a traditional stadium. The closing ceremony will be held at a traditional stadium.It’s difficult to full gauge what athletes from the state to hone in on now, given qualifying for most events won’t take place until the first portion of 2024.
However, based on what’s been taking place in their respective sports since Tokyo, here are couple of good bets as of this moment from Texas.The silver medalist in the 100-meter dash at the Tokyo Olympics, Kerley will be 29 if he is in Paris. But the Taylor native certainly seems to be maintaining his elite form. He was the gold medalist at last year’s world championships.The native of Houston was the bronze medalist in the 800 meters at the Tokyo Olympics.
