First wave of athletes arrives at Olympic Village for 2024 Paris Games

The first Olympic Athletes to arrive in Paris began checking into the Olympic Village on July 18, 2024 just over a week from the official start of the Games with the opening ceremonies on July 26. Athletes from Australia, South Africa, Japan, Uruguay, and the United States were some of the first to arrive to the village which is in Saint-Denis, adjacent to the city of Paris where most the competitions will be held. Athletes who will be housed in brand-new apartments on the grounds said they were excited to check out their rooms and the Olympic Village campus and to get to know other athletes from around the world. The complex, which will host more than 20,000 athletes and delegates throughout the Olympics and Paralympics, is complete with lounges, a club, laundry facilities, a massive dining hall, it’s own post office and even a hair salon if athletes want to look the part before competing.
