The Eiffel Tower: The iconic five Olympic Rings, adorning the exterior of the world-renowned Eiffel Tower, were unveiled on Thursday, marking the 50-day countdown to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The five Olympic Rings, manufactured by ArcelorMittal, were installed on the iconic Eiffel Tower during the night of June 6-7, standing across the Seine River from the Trocadero Square.

"At the Games, we call these giant rings the "Spectaculars" and we could hardly do more spectacular than the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is Paris, it is France. We wanted to create an image that everyone will remember," said Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024.

Each ring has a diameter of about 9 meters, and the entire structure is 29 meters wide and 13 meters high. The installation required four cranes and a team of about 30 engineers, reports Xinhua.
