"Parisian Waiters Revive Storied Race Ahead of Olympics"
Paris revived its annual race of cafe and restaurant waiters, with about 200 participants rushing through the city streets carrying croissants, glasses of water, and coffee cups on trays. The event, which had been on hiatus since 2012, was brought back as an opportunity for the city to showcase its cafe culture before hosting the Summer Olympics. Paris officials aimed to highlight the significance of dining at cafes and bistros as part of the city's cultural heritage, alongside its famous landmarks.
