The descendants of Gustave Eiffel oppose the Paris mayor's plan to permanently install Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower, citing concerns about the alteration of their ancestor's iconic work. Mayor Anne Hidalgo wishes to keep the rings until at least the 2028 Los Angeles Games, but Eiffel's family argues that the massive structure disrupts the tower's silhouette and diminishes its historical significance. In a different vein, the 2024 Paralympic Games concluded with record viewer engagement, marking a significant milestone in the visibility of disability sports. This year's Games featured over 4,400 athletes and broadcasted all sports in more than 160 countries, indicating growing respect for the Paralympics. Additionally, a celebratory Parade des Champions is planned on the Champs-Élysées to honor Olympic and Paralympic athletes, highlighting the achievements of the Paris 2024 Games. The mayor confirmed that the Olympic rings and Paralympic agitos will remain in Paris until 2028, albeit in modified forms to preserve the city’s cultural heritage.
