The city that hosted the 2024 Summer Games was designated at the 131st session in Lima in 2017: Paris was the only candidate city and was therefore designated following the withdrawal of Los Angeles, which was awarded the 2028 Games.Some regretted that a number of decisions related to the organization generated more or less violent criticism, in many respects justified, starting with the opening ceremony, some scenes of which had been shocking to the point of leading a hundred countries to partially ban its broadcasting, something never seen before! Other decisions or choices have proved to be more or less questionable or fortunate, such as the non-compliance of the Olympic pools, a calamitous management of volunteers, the absence of an Olympic stadium (a first in history), or the blocking of access to shops linked to drastic security measures, but very effective since there were no safety concerns.On the other hand, a real problem was revealed, for which the organization was in no way responsible, namely how to manage the sex changes that allowed the mixing of sexes during the events. As for the closing ceremony, although more moderate in its excesses, it did not manage to provoke the hoped-for enthusiasm, Pierre de Fredy, Baron de Coubertin must have turned in his grave. These games, which were supposed to be 100% egalitarian between men and women, did not include men's events for rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming.
