"Paris Olympics 2024: Countdown Begins Amid Venue Readiness and Security Concerns"
With the Paris Olympics just 100 days away, concerns linger over the opening ceremony's feasibility and security, particularly due to the river-based event and recent security threats. While sporting venues are nearly ready, some temporary and renovated sites are still in progress. Transport infrastructure, including the extension of Metro Line 14, is being finalized, but some projects will not be completed in time. Security measures, including an "anti-terrorist" perimeter, are being implemented, and plans to clean up the River Seine for events like triathlon and open-water swimming are underway. The Games aim to leave a lasting legacy, focusing on environmental sustainability and community development.
