What an experience! Another tick on my ever-growing bucket list!
As a children’s novelist, the olympics provide a wealth of inspiration for stories that can captivate young readers. Themes of unity, perseverance and cultural exchange shimmer throughout the events—timeless and universal tales waiting to be told. Here, dreams unfurl into reality, and invaluable life lessons are learned. Athletes forge lasting friendships and discover the essence of teamwork as they come together in global unity. The air is thick with potential and possibility, and we, the spectators, are not just entertained, but inspired and educated; the lucky witnesses to history in the making.
Paris itself, the epitome of charm and vibrancy, renowned for its history, art and romance, stands proud as the host for the third time. But the Games of 2024 are different, setting a new standard for a sustainable Olympic Games. Committed to environmental responsibility, it’s the first ever climate-positive Olympics. Energy-efficient venues and waste-reduction schemes all have sustainability in mind.
Using existing and temporary venues minimises the ecological footprint to ensure Paris stays preserved for future generations.
In every corner, magic thrives. I doubt there is anyone here who hasn’t felt moved or inspired by the sheer magnificence of it all.
Happy summer!
