With the Paris 2024 Olympics 100 days away, organizers have released over 250,000 new tickets, including budget-friendly options with nearly 20,000 tickets at €24.

The Olympic torch lighting ceremony took place in Olympia, Greece with 600 attendees, aiming to symbolize unity and hope amidst global conflicts.

The torch will be carried through Greece and then to France, initiating a 68-day relay across the country, culminating in Paris for the Games' inception.

French President Emmanuel Macron and other officials are considering a traditional opening ceremony at Stade de France amidst security concerns, though plans for a parade on the Seine are still underway.

Security measures and contingency plans are being emphasized to ensure the safety of participants and spectators during the Olympics.

The United States and China are anticipated to lead the medal count, with the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes uncertain due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
