Less than a week after the closing of the Paralympic Games, Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024, accompanied by Etienne Thobois, CEO, came to the press to present an initial assessment of the Games. With record figures and a feeling of duty accomplished.
Knowing that “this time it’s really over”, Tony Estanguet looked back on this “historic summer” with “a record that is not completely consolidated” but with a certain number of records already set.
If only on the sporting level, 125 Olympic records and 202 Paralympic records were beaten. Let us also recall the places of Top 5 (64 medals including 16 gold) for the Olympics (a record) and Top 8 for the Paralympics (75 medals including 19 gold).

At the ticket office, 12,132,647 tickets were sold (9,556,792 for the Olympics and 2,575,855 for the Paralympics). “We are very proud of this figure, it is a real success” declares Tony Estanguet who mentions “a 95% occupancy rate”. Note the world records for a women’s handball match in Lille with 26,000 spectators, and 66,000 spectators for women’s rugby 7s at the Stade de France. On the Para Nation, 266,000 tickets were sold, another record.
Tony Estanguet has not forgotten “the musical strategy to accompany the sporting celebration and the success of these Games” including the anthem “Parade” composed by Victor Le Masne and now available on streaming platforms.
All these records have been built over a long period of time, also reinforced by “French excellence in the organisation of very large events, at the forefront of which are security and transport”. “We have been able to create serenity and confidence” which allowed us to “promote Paris and France throughout the world” sums up the president of Paris 2024.
“We managed to capitalize on the most beautiful places to make these Games unforgettable”
“The two opening ceremonies were key events in launching the Games’ momentum, they left their mark and contributed to bringing a very important influence” continues Tony Estanguet. Without forgetting all these iconic sites. The manager is referring here to a computer-generated image, the beach volleyball court in front of the Eiffel Tower, which according to him, “allowed us to win the Games in 2015 and to seek out the first partners and supporters”. The next slide showed the same image taken this summer. In other words, the reality is not very different from what the Organizing Committee had imagined.
“We managed to capitalize on the most beautiful places – the Concorde, the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides, the Palace of Versailles… – to make these Games unforgettable Games that will leave their mark.” Tony Estanguet is pleased to say, not forgetting to mention the rings on the Eiffel Tower, the agitos on the Arc de Triomphe, permanently present during the two competitions, and of course the Olympic cauldron with “hundreds of thousands of people who came to see the Flame rise into the sky over 24 evenings.” In total, More than 7 million people visited the celebration areas for Paris 2024with Club France and the Parc des Champions in the Trocadéro gardens in the lead (a total attendance of 280,000 people). Another strong marker, the Marathon for All and its 40,000 participants on “a postcard route at night”.
During this Olympiad, 4,800 communities were designated Land of Games, and 2,500 projects were labeled Cultural Olympiad. The Torch Relay attracted 8 million spectators.
