The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris run from July 26 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 — although ‘Paris 2024’ is a bit easier.
There will be 45,000 volunteers worldwide working on the Games, chosen from around 300,000 applicants.
