100 years after hosting the Summer Olympics in 1924, Paris prepares to play host again, showcasing major advancements in technology, participation, and media coverage. In 1924, Paris welcomed mostly European athletes, timed by mechanical stopwatches, while the 2024 Olympics will see global participation with precision measured to the thousandth of a second. The cost of hosting the Olympics has drastically increased since the 1924 games, with Paris spending an estimated $8.2 billion compared to 10 million francs in 1924. The 2024 Paris Olympics aim to be one of the cheapest modern Olympics, with 95% of venues already constructed, and a total budget of $9.7 billion.
