The Paris Olympics officially starts tomorrow (Friday) - although some events (soccer, rugby 7s, handball) have already started preliminary rounds.
The Opening Ceremony promises to be a unique experience - the first one in history to happen outside of a stadium - with the ceremony happening on and along the Seine in the centre of the city. Rumour has it that Celine Dion will be heading the entertainment.
The sporting events themselves will be utilising some of the most iconic venues and landmarks of the City of Light - the Eiffiel Tower, the Grand Palais, Versailles - which promises to offer up spectacular footage - think of the '92 Barcelona Olympics diving competition on Montjuic which had the whole city as the backdrop.
What are the particular events that DLers are looking forward to? Who will be the break-out stars of 2024? What will be the inevitable controversies?
Elite athletic pursuits and physical beauty have always gone hand in hand. Who are the Hotties of Paris 2024?
I'll start with French swimming hope the freestyle sprints: World Champion, Maxime Grousset.
