According to some rumors, the race could pass by "la cote des gardes", a famous hill in the famous running race Paris-Versailles. The marathon could also pass by Versailles Castle, Saint Cloud and Ville d'Avray, in the west of Paris.

De_Gambassi 896 Posted September 28, 2022 #213 Share Posted September 28, 2022 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. https://www.francetvinfo.fr/les-jeux-olympiques/paris-2024/paris-2024-a-roland-garros-le-court-suzanne-lenglen-poursuit-sa-mue-en-vue-des-jeux-olympiques_5370055.html (possibly the last ever olympic boxing venue) hckošice, Josh and Laraja 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dullard 352 Posted September 29, 2022 #214 Share Posted September 29, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) dullard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topicmaster1010 2,182 Posted October 7, 2022 #219 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Not sure how accurate this is but I saw a reddit post that the pictograms were leaked on the IOC website a couple of days ago. And oh boy, let's just say that I hope these aren't actually the pictograms. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,417 Posted October 7, 2022 #220 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) The video question reportedly explained these were to be seen more as a coat of arms for each event (can’t remember the French term used.) I saw some claims they’ll animated like Tokyo’s as well. If this is the real deal, it’s certainly a fresh take on the pictogram genre. I believe the Reddit discussion was started by this thread on Twitter. Edited October 7, 2022 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
