The Paris 2024 Olympic Games kick off on 26 July local time, preparations are in full swing, and the Olympic Village will open its doors to athletes in mid-July. The French police also said they were ready for the security mission for the Olympics.
At present, the final preparations for the Olympic Village in Paris are in full swing. The mascot "Friger" has been decorated on the walls of the Olympic Village.
According to reports, the Paris Olympic Village focuses on the concept of green, environmental protection and sustainability, and reducing carbon emissions by 50% is the commitment of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee to the world. In addition to making full use of existing local building facilities and using a large number of recyclable building materials, the Olympic Village also announced that it would "abandon air conditioning" to save energy and reduce emissions, although this measure has caused controversy among delegations. In this regard, the Paris Olympic Organising Committee said that it will use a floor temperature cooling system to pump cold water into the apartments, so that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor can achieve "6 to 10 degrees Celsius".
Tony Estanguet, President of the Paris Organising Committee of the Olympic Games: A floor temperature cooling system can reduce the temperature in the apartment compared to the outside temperature, which is the system we want to provide. In addition, a fan will be installed (indoors).
Strengthened security guard French police escort the Seine
With the Paris Olympics just around the corner, France is on top security alert. It is reported that Paris plans to deploy an average of about 30,000 police and gendarmes every day during the Olympics to be responsible for security. And on the day of the opening ceremony, the number will reach 45,000. According to the plan, athletes from all over the world at the opening ceremony will travel 6 kilometers along the Seine in 160 boats to reach the Eiffel Tower. About 300,000 spectators will also watch the opening ceremony on the banks of the Seine. The Seine will also be the venue for events such as the triathlon at the Paris Olympics, so the security of the Seine is a top priority.
Sophie Maleb, Captain of the Seine Police Detachment: We train every morning in driving, diving and swimming in order to be in the best possible condition for the security of the opening ceremony and water events on the Seine. We will make sure that [the Olympics] are safe. (Source: CCTV News Client)
