@Benolympique For Tokyo 2020, the medals were unveiled one year before the start of the (delayed) games. I'm assuming it'll be the same for Paris 2024. 

so we can hope in the week?

Representatives from 196 countries visited Paris to see the final plans for infrastructure and commuting.

 

LTOK did released few comments about concerns in regards:

• no transport planned for athletes, having to use public transit to get to arenas;
• smallest athletes village capacity in years, potentially majority of coaches and support personnel from all nations will have to live outside of the village...

1 - that's a shame and will turn to unfair, as I'm sure that the richest delegations will have their organized transport system with private cars & escorts

 

2 - it might turn out to be a good thing...with no coaches and doctors around, some last minute manipulation could be more difficult and hit some cheaters (unfortunately not the big ones, who are always very well organized)

Looks like we might be getting a celebration similar to the winter medal ceremonies. The renderings look interesting at least.

I think that's a good idea.

 

It has been suggested on other forums that there should be 3 additional medal ceremonies at Paris 2024:  2022 Team Figure Skating and 2012 M HJ and W 400H.

Herr President tested the bed at the Olympic Village and stated he slept very well on these beds
