After the strange spectacle of the 2020 Olympic Games being held without fans, spectators will return to the 2024 edition in Paris between July 26 and August 11 next year.
From equestrian events at the Palace of Versailles to football finals at the Parc des Princes, millions of tickets will be sold across 48 disciplines.
This will be the third instance of the summer Games to take place in Paris, which previously held the Olympics in 1900 and 1924.
