The Paris 2024 Olympic Games officially begin on July 26 with the opening ceremony along the Seine and the lighting of the Olympic flame. But be careful, the Olympics begin on July 24 with the very first competitions in a sort of preview of the fortnight. This is particularly the case for the football tournament which will begin on Wednesday July 24, but also the rugby sevens with the highly anticipated Antoine Dupont. Two other sports, archery and handball, will take to the field the day before the opening ceremony.

As in every Olympics, there will be highlights. The first week of competition will be notably marked by the swimming events from July 27 to August 4. Léon Marchand, Florent Manaudou and Maxime Grousset will be there. You will be able to follow their exploits on July 28, for example for Léon Marchand with the final of the 4x400m medley, on August 2 for the final of the 50m freestyle with Florent Manaudou and Maxime Grousset. All road cycling events will also be scheduled during the first week with the men’s race on August 3 and August 4 for the women. Judo will also be in the spotlight in the first week with the -63kg final with Clarisse Agbegnenou on July 30 or that of Teddy Riner on August 3. Fencing, often prolific for the French delegation, will also have its events in the first part of the Olympics with men’s epee on July 28 or women’s saber on July 29.
The second part of the Olympic Games from August 1 to 11 will be devoted to athletics or the finals of collective competitions such as handball, volleyball, etc. For athletics, the Olympic sport par excellence, the biggest moment will be the final of the 100m on August 4. To see the French chances, we will certainly have to focus on the men’s decathlon from August 2 to 3. The handball finals will take place on August 10 for women and August 11 for men.
The very first medals of these Olympics will be awarded the day after the opening ceremony. The women’s and men’s time trials in road cycling, judo at the Arena Champ-de-Mars and even fencing at the Grand Palais will award the first titles of these Olympics.
