Rendering of Champions Park in Paris, which will feature live broadcasts of action and parades featuring the previous day’s medal-winners.
A first
For the first time in the history of the Summer Olympics, all the medalists will be invited to commune with thousands of fans, in the heart of the city, in an open-air arena.
The Paris 2024 Athletes' Commission has been supporting this project since its outline.
“Market Park is a completely new concept at the Summer Olympics, designed to make the experience of athletes unforgettable,” said Martin Fourcade, Chairman of the Paris 2024 Athletes’ Commission.
The concepts of sharing and opening, with the celebration of athletes of all nationalities and disciplines, were the watchwords of the Athletes’ Commission. ”
Communion and celebrations
The medalists of the day before will be invited to come to the public. The venue will also offer live broadcast of the major sporting moments of the day. All of this will help make Champions Park a festive experience for both athletes and the public.
Champions Park will be accessible to all free from 29 July to 10 August (except 2 and 4 August).
The medallist parade will be held every day from 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. in front of more than 15,000 sports fans.
From 7.30 p.m. to 11.30 p.m., Champions Park will broadcast live the evening grand finals.
