Paris Olympics 2024 LIVE: Date, UK start times, full schedule, venues, medal table, talkSPORT coverage and how to follow summer games

There are just 100 days left until the world’s best athletes begin representing their countries at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Olympic Games are being held in the French capital for the first time in exactly 100 years and the stars will arrive in Europe in a bid to win gold.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Team GB won 64 medals in total and finished fourth overall.

Tom Daley and Adam Peaty were among the gold medalists for Great Britain, who will be hoping to excel once again this time around.

Those who win gold will now receive prize money after World Athletics announced a major change to the event.

The Games are fast approaching so here is everything you need to know about the Paris Olympics…

Paris Olympics: Dates and times

The 2024 Summer Olympics will begin with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 26 and conclude on Sunday, August 11.

France will host the games with events taking place across the capital Paris and others in Lille, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes, Nice and Saint-Etienne.

The ceremony begins at 8:24 p.m., which cleverly says on the 24-hour clock 8:24 p.m.

Paris Olympics: application procedure

Due to withdrawals, only Paris and Los Angeles were in the running to host the 2024 Olympic Games.

At the 131st IOC Session in 2017, Paris was named as host of the summer games after securing a competing agreement.

Paris has been awarded the 2024 games while Los Angeles will host the 2028 games.

This will be the third time that the French capital will host the Olympic Games, meaning it will become only the second city to do so after London.
