I thought Chatrier will host boxing and Suzanne-Lenglen just the tennis? It's amazing how RG takes so long to get a roof and now they're already getting a second.
No, it's the other way around. Chatrier will be saved for the last tennis rounds when Lenglen will start being used for boxing bouts (early boxing stages will be held in another arena)
The construction of the roof at the Suzanne-Lenglen court (second biggest Roland Garros court) has started. Outside of tennis and para-tennis, il will also host the boxing tournament.
Don't know, don't care. We are guaranteed one male and one female. So there is that. 2 athletes.

Breaking I don't care. But I know that at the last World Champs we had a girl in the top 4, so maybe she can do it again. 1 athlete

Breaking
God only knows why this has been elevated to an Olympic sport. Don't know, don't care. According to Team GB website, “some of the best b-boys and b-girls in the world are British” – this isn’t reflected in the world rankings though so not sure how true the statement is and to be honest, I don’t really care.
Depends of the national federation policy Will they open the selection or not ? I think, they will kinda of being forced to do so. 50-75 athletes
Badminton
One male, one female in single are guaranteed. The Giquel-Delrue pair should be in and possibly the Popov brothers in men's double. 4-5 athletes
Basketball
Both 5*5 teams are in. We'are also guaranteed one 3*3 team. Hopefully, the women 3*3 team should qualify via ranking, then it will be a 50-50 for the male team. 28-32 athletes.
Beach Volleyball
Here, we will get an extra quota even if we manage to qualify one pair. That's nice . I believe there is a decent chance one of the male's pair qualify by itself. 4-6 athletes
Boxing
The early AIBA draft gave us 7 olympic spots (4 males and 3 women). If it stands, I don't think, we would be able to qualify more boxers than that. 7 athletes
Breaking
Don't know, don't care. We are guaranteed one male and one female. So there is that. 2 athletes.
Canoeing-Sprint
I think, we are guaranteed 4 spots in the C1 and K1 men and women race regardless of other qualified boats ? If true, I'm not sure the federation will use these quotas. 6-12 athletes
Canoeing-Slalom
Will we have an extra quota in this new urban canoeing discipline ? The question is big, the excitement is great (it is not). 4-6 athletes
Cycling-Track
A Full team seams on the horizon tbh, then it depends who will run the team pursuit and the madisson/omnium races 14-16 athletes
Cycling-Road
As of now, we would send a full team. We should remain in the UCI Top 5 male's ranking at least. 7-8 athletes
Cycling-BMX
Freestyle will give us 2 athletes. Racing, probably, like in Tokyo, 5 athletes. 6-8 Athletes
Cycling-MTB
Full team definitely. Unfortunately, these days, that only means 4 quotas. 4 athletes
Diving
One spot guaranteed in every individual discipline. We couldn't ask for more. 8 athletes
Equestrian
Full team guaranteed. 9 Athletes
Fencing
As it stands, every teams would qualify to Paris. We also have 6 extra home nation quotas to be distributed as we wish if we fail to do so. Very likely, we will have a full team: 18 athletes.
Field Hockey
Both teams are guaranteed. 32 Athletes
Football
Both teams are guaranteed. 36 Athletes
Golf
I'm guessing, 2 guys and 2 girls like in Rio and Tokyo ? 4 athletes.
Gymnastics-Artistic
The woman team should qualify, not so much the male one. It will be a bit sad no to have both teams in Paris, but c'est la vie. In worst case scenario, one male gymnast is guaranteed to participate. 6-7 athletes
Gymnastics-Rhythmic
An almost full team is guaranteed. Theoretically, we could have an second individual gymnast, but that's not going to happen. 6 athletes
Gymnastics-Trampoline
Only one spot (male or female) is guaranteed. Hopefully, we could qualify one representative of each. 1-2 athletes
Handball
Both teams are guaranteed. 28 Athletes
Judo
Full team guaranteed. 14 Athletes
Modern Pentathlon
Probably a full team. 4 athletes
Rowing
I expect a very similar team that the one we had in Tokyo (5 boats and 12 rowers). 8 -16 athletes
Rugby 7's
Both teams are guaranteed. 24 Athletes
Sailing
Full team guaranteed. 14 Athletes
Shooting
We are guaranteed one shooter in every individual disciplines, but I would be very disappointed if we didn't qualify any extra shooter. 14-18 athletes
Skateboarding
1 boy, 1 girl in Park and in Street. That's what we have been given to, and that's what we should settle for. 4 athletes
Sport Climbing
1 quota per discipline is guaranteed. I think, we could look for extra quotas in the combined event, less so in the speed one. 5-7 athletes.
Surfing
One of the very few sports where we could have a smaller team than in Tokyo. 2-4 athletes.
Swimming
We had only 25 swimmers in Tokyo. This will certainly be a larger team. 30-35 athletes.
Table Tennis
Full team guaranteed. 6 Athletes
Taekwondo
4 spots are already safe (2 men, and 2 women). Only the women could potentially top that. 4-5 athletes.
Tennis
We are used to send a full team at the Olympics, but this time, it might be different. 8-12 athletes
Triathlon
I can't see how we could not have 3 men qualified. Women are more a question mark. 5-6 athletes
Volleyball
Both teams are guaranteed. 24 Athletes
Basketball
Both teams are guaranteed. 24 Athletes
Weightlifting
4 spots are guaranteed (2 males and 2 females). Maybe, we could qualify an extra female quota. 4-5 athletes.
Wrestling
No host nation quotas here There is a scenario where there could be no home wrestlers at Paris 2024. Unlikely but still... 1-4 athletes
Olympics are for all fans all over the world not for those from France only..
Obviously... But you have to consider the hosts also. None of the next three ones having a real desire for the discipline, it can only hurt the chances of weightlifting to remain.
Normally, no. But considering this has been in the air for a long time and IWF is just somehow managing to make it worse on a near-daily basis, I'm kind of expecting that, yes.
Not that it would matter for Paris 2024 as a whole of course. Terrible for the athletes, sad for weightlifting fans, but other than that, I highly doubt anyone will really care. And that's not even thinking about probably 90% - at least - of the Olympic viewers who won't even know it was gone until it's back in LA 2028 (if they'll even notice the existence then).
I believe the total air time of weightlifting during these Olympics in France was about 60 seconds. So, yeah, people won't notice.
Yet, I still believe IOC is trying to push the sport in the right direction and that if they fail to do so (which seems likely at this point) big decision will happen only afterward. Actually, I could see Paris to hold the last Olympic weightlifting tournament in history.
Like, it's 2024, The Olympic Games are starting in Paris and it's a matter of life or death to have those 3 sports, otherwise there wouldn't be any interest or knowledge that these Games are happening in France.
All this marketing ploy for "host interest" is so ludicrous, that it presents the OG, as some obscure event and we need to popularize it to get some attention.
What the fuck are you talking about ? These sports don't drive the host country interest. Surfing will be held to the other place of the globe in a land that half of the population would be surprised to learn it's actually a part of the country, no one cares about BMX past puberty and certainly no one give a fuck about breakdancing.
What will drive host country interest are the usual suspects : Athletics, Swimming, team sports or any sport that will bring the medals and that will be forgotten two weeks later.
This additional sport selection had little to do with the host country, but mostly with the IOC trying to pretend it's something else.
I'm really asking myself what's going on in the IOC and Paris Organizing Committee's minds?
I thought Tokyo 2020 was easily getting the title of "worst Olympics ever", but I see that Paris is fighting hard to win that already 5 years before their Games...
Well, you're not going to watch it anyway (because of breackdancing, remember), so it isn't much of a problem for you
Apparently Tahiti has become the frontrunner to host the surfing events and Chamonix is becoming heavily considered to host the mountain bikes ones (because wink wink Chamonix 1924)
. I believe there is a decent chance one of the male's pair qualify by itself. 4-6 athletes
There is a scenario where there could be no home wrestlers at Paris 2024. Unlikely but still... 1-4 athletes
They'd save a bit of money and that's it.
Never heard of it before, now I did

No, it's the other way around. Chatrier will be saved for the last tennis rounds when Lenglen will start being used for boxing bouts (early boxing stages will be held in another arena)
