This Saturday will be remembered for a long time. For the first time in history, the Olympic Torch shone in Guadeloupe on a day that began with its majestic arrival aboard the trimaran Maxi Banque Populaire XI, which crossed the Atlantic Ocean after leaving Brest on 7 June.

It's the event of the year for France. And Emmanuel Macron believes that the French will "take the Paris Olympics into account" when they vote in the forthcoming legislative elections and will not want leaders who are "not ready at all", he told the press on the sidelines of the G7 in Bari, Italy, on Thursday.

Snap French parliamentary elections called just weeks before the start of the Paris Olympics are "extremely unsettling", the city's mayor said, as political turmoil emerged as an unexpected risk to the July-August Games.

Tony Estanguet took on the role as president of Paris Olympics Organising Committee two years after leading the city's bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In an interview with Hindustan Times’ Faizal Khan while attending the Cannes Film Festival, the three-time gold medallist spoke of the city’s journey to host the upcoming Olympic Games. 

After a period of controversy, the judges' tower in Teahupo'o (Tahiti), set to be utilised during this summer's Olympic surfing competition, was prepared to cater to the World Surf League on Saturday during a stop on the World Circuit. Olympic chief Tony Estanguet expressed his contentment, stating he was "satisfied to see this structure erected."

The Paris 2024 Organising Committee unveiled the podiums for the Olympic and Paralympic winners' ceremonies, manufactured by Le Pavé, Global Concept and Giffard, which will be used for the Olympic Games from 26 July to 11 August and the Paralympic Games from 28 August to 8 September 2024.

Paris 2024 and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), in collaboration with France Televisions, have selected Jules and Gedeon Naudet to direct the official film and documentary series for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.

CitizenGO France has attracted over 12,000 signatures to a petition saying "No to a 'Pride House' at Paris 2024". In an open letter to Organising Committee president Tony Estanguet, it claims Pride House "flouts the principle of universality that the Olympic Games strive to maintain".

The Olympic flame will be one of the stars of the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival this Tuesday, just over two months before the thirty-third Olympic Games.

The torch brought together many people to celebrate this symbolic date in the countdown, from Biarritz to Pau. Tony Estanguet, President of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee, visited his home region to take part in a collective relay in a kayak and also on a surfboard as athletes and para-athletes shared the torch.

The athletics track at the Stade de France is now ready for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held from 26 July to 11 August. Uniquely, the track is purple rather than the traditional red. It was officially unveiled by American Carl Lewis, who won nine golds and one silver medal in the sprint and long jump. 

Pride House at Paris 2024 will be a place full of life and celebration during the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer at the Peniche Rosa Bonheur on the Seine.

The Organising Committee of the next Olympic Games has chosen Victor le Masne to be the musical director of the four ceremonies and composer of the official musical theme of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
