The 2024 Summer Olympics are being held in Paris, France, starting with the opening ceremony on Friday, July 26, and lasting until Sunday, August 11. This year’s games are particularly noteworthy because of the addition of new sports like breakdancing, Simone Biles’s return to gymnastics, Paris’s promise to clean up the Seine River, increased attention on security, up-and-coming athletes, and so much more.
