Paris 2024 values messenger. One year and one day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the Olympic torch relay was unveiled on Tuesday, July 25, during a press conference at the Paris 2024 headquarters in Saint-Denis. Designed by French designer Matthieu Lehanner, it will be used to carry the Olympic flame, which will burn from Olympia to Paris via Marseille from April 16 to July 26, 2024, the day the Paris edition’s cauldron is lit.
The object, 70 cm long and weighing 1.5 kg, is made of champagne-coloured steel produced, cast and machined by ArcelorMittal in its French factories. A torch with a narrow upper and lower part, slightly oblong, stands out in a traditionally flared shape. “For the first time in its history, it is absolutely symmetrical,” the designer explained, which helps “show the flame more.”. “Many times when you talk to people, they think of the Olympic rings and the torch”the President of the Organizing Committee (Cojop) Tony Estangue delivered a speech.
He will carry the Olympic flame and then the Paralympic flame across France 🇫🇷 He will light the pool that will mark the start of our games ✨ He will share the values and spirit of #Paris2024 Discover the torch of the Paris 2024 Games 🔥 Pic.twitter.com/nz847kpacccccci – Paris 2024 (@Paris2024) July 25, 2023
