Medals from day one
We get to the heart of the matter from the first day, when the first medals of the Olympic fortnight will already be awarded. The day after the opening ceremony, July 27 will see the first unforgettable emotions of the Games take place, before the eyes of the whole world are fixed on those who mark history. The streets of Paris will come alive, with the women’s and men’s road cycling time trials starting at 2:30 p.m., while judo will begin its week of competition at the Arena Champ-de-Mars, while fencing will take over the Grand Palais when rugby 7s will inaugurate the enclosure of the Stade de France. Swimming, diving and shooting will also feature on this inaugural day, in their settings at the Aquatic Centre, the Arena la Défense and the National Shooting Stand in Châteauroux.
On the side of additional sports, skateboarding will be invited from the first day of competition on the Place de la Concorde to answer the question of who will succeed the Japanese armada, victorious three times out of four events in Tokyo. Two weeks later, it’s time for breaking! This sport will celebrate its Olympic baptism by setting Place de la Concorde on fire on August 9 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. for the B-Girls and the next day at the same time for the B-Boys, and thus conclude an unforgettable fortnight on one of the most emblematic of Paris.
