Bit of a prediction I would. 3+ months out from the games, they're not going to put it in a stadium and if they do, that stadium is probably going to not have fans in it. If something happens that they have to scrap the current plan, the backup will be something that will likely be a primarily TV only event and not something the public can be a part of Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
