The 2024 Paris Olympics, starting July 26, will feature over 10,000 athletes competing in 329 events across 39 sports, including the debut of break-dancing. This year's games are overshadowed by a doping scandal involving Chinese swimmers and reduced participation from Russia due to past doping issues and international tensions. The Olympics are expected to draw significant crowds and possibly lead to disruptions due to protests and transit congestion. Meanwhile, the Olympic Village will be filled with festivities and known for its notorious social scene, with organizers providing 200,000 condoms to athletes. The event has historical significance, as highlighted by Jesse Owens' achievements in the 1936 Olympics amid political controversy. Various properties are also offering special deals to celebrate the games, emphasizing the cultural ties to the Olympics.
