The IOC and Paris 2024 worked in close collaboration with the relevant International Federations to develop the updated concept, with important input also provided by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and public stakeholders. Paris 2024’s optimised strategy signals a new era of Games delivery, further aligning with the recommendations of Olympic Agenda 2020 and the New Norm. It consolidates their existing strengths – reducing new constructions, enabling certain venues to be shared, allowing for budget savings and even tighter control of funds, respecting the environment while retaining Paris 2024’s spectacular dimension and strong roots in local communities, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis. For Seine-Saint-Denis, a new permanent facility for sports climbing will be built. An additional five Olympic sports will be held in the area: athletics, aquatic events (artistic swimming, diving and water polo), climbing, rugby sevens and shooting.
