The Olympic flame was lit on April 16, 2024, with 100 days remaining until the start of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. The flame was ignited in Ancient Olympia, Greece, the historic birthplace of the Olympic Games. The Olympic flame symbolizes peace and hope, and will now embark on a journey across Greece before making its way to France. The flame will arrive in Marseille on May 8 and travel throughout the country, including some French overseas territories, before finally reaching Paris for the Opening Ceremony on July 26.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach underscored Paris 2024’s commitment to upholding Olympic values and promoting global unity. He highlighted that the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the world together in peaceful competition. In their fierce yet peaceful competition, the athletes convey a powerful message that it is possible to compete against each other while living peacefully under one roof. He remarked that the athletes would showcase their excellence, determination, and resilience, demonstrating the greatness of human potential.
