As the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games fades, Paris is geared up to capitalize on the momentum by launching the Paralympics, which they aspire to be the best in history. This ambition was expressed by the president of Paris 2024, Tony Estanguet, during a launch event that included meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron. Estanguet emphasized the successful execution of the Olympic Games and is now focused on delivering an equally impressive Paralympic edition.

The Paralympic Games in Paris are set to take place from August 28 to September 8, 2024, spanning 11 days filled with various activities. Estanguet reiterated confidence that the spirit generated by the Olympic Games would carry over into the Paralympics, helping attract significant public interest. Evidence of this increased enthusiasm is reflected in the sharp rise in ticket sales, with 1.4 million tickets sold already, including 400,000 tickets following the Olympic Games' opening ceremony.

This year also signifies the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in sports, as the Paris 2024 Games aim to showcase the talents of athletes with disabilities to a global audience. The strategic timing and planning surrounding the events indicate the French organizers' objective of elevating the visibility and experience of the Paralympic Games, reiterating a commitment to excellence and innovation in the sports sector, which could set new standards in future editions of the Games.
