PARIS — The Olympic rings will be displayed on the Eiffel Tower, organizers said in a statement on Tuesday, as the French capital prepares to mark 100 days until the start of the Paris Games.
A 29-metre-long and 15-metre-high structure of five Olympic rings, made entirely of recycled French steel, will be displayed on the south side of the 135-year-old historic landmark in central Paris, overlooking the Seine River. About 10,500 athletes will parade through the heart of the French capital on boats on the Seine along a 6-kilometre route in the opening ceremony at sunset on July 26.
The Eiffel Tower will feature prominently in the July 26-Aug. 11 Paris Games and the following Paralympics. The Olympic and Paralympic medals in Paris are being embedded with pieces from a hexagonal chunk of iron taken from the monument. The hugely popular 330-metre landmark in central Paris has seen soaring visitor numbers in the lead-up to the 2024 Games.
Work on the Eiffel Tower to install the rings is set to begin at the end of the month, the organizers said.The Associated Press
