The Organising Committee: The Organising Committee of the Paris 2024 has unveiled the podiums, the ultimate symbols of performance, for the Olympics, which will be held from July 26 to August 11, and the Paralympic Games, which takes place from August 28 to September 8.

The podiums were unveiled at the Organising Committee’s Pulse headquarters in Saint-Denis on Thursday evening. These podiums will be used for 329 medal ceremonies at the Olympic Games, as well as 549 ceremonies at the Paralympic Games.

"The podiums feature a design inspired by the famous metal arches created by Gustave Eiffel, which can be seen in the lines and curves that adorn the podium's facade. Two colours were chosen for the podiums: grey for the surfaces, in reference to the zinc roofs of the Paris skyline, and a discreet off-white to allow full focus on the athletes and Para-athletes and the celebration of their winning performances," the organising committee statement read.
