SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly speaks to Etienne Thobois, chief executive of the local organising committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
They discuss what the Paris 2024 team have been learning in Japan, how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected those activities and the progress of their own preparations, and how the pressure will change after the closing ceremony at Tokyo 2020.
They also talk about the Paris 2024 commercial programme and about how far the Games concept can reconnect the Olympics with the host city and its people, rethink how to encourage physical exercise, and showcase urban spaces in a more creative way.
