Paris 2024 Olympische und Paralympische Fackel

By Duncan Mil

July 26, 2023 - Das Paris 2024 Designteam, unter Leitung von Mathieu Lehanneur, ließ sich von drei neuen Spielsymbolen ispirieren: Gleichheit, Wasser und Friedlichkeit. Lehanneur entwickelte eine Allwetter-Fackel, die Propan aus erneuerbaren Quellen verbrennt.

On Tuesday, July 25, in the headquarters of the Organising Committee, president of Paris 2024 Tony Estanguet, designer Lehanneur, and production partner ArcelorMittal presented the torch.

“Following our logic of building bridges between the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the latter already shares the same emblem and mascot as the former. At Paris 2024, we will also have a single torch design,” Estanguet told reporters.

“This object embodies every edition of the Games,” he continued during the press conference. “When we look back at history, every torch is more beautiful than the others, each one with its own uniqueness. Every country tries to showcase its creativity and we can see that. It’s an aesthetic object that says something.”

After being lit by the rays of the sun
in Olympia, Greece, on April 16, 2024, the Olympic flame will be carried by 10,000
people during the Olympic torch relay.

After travelling thousands of kilometres, the torch will light the Olympic cauldron at the Opening Ceremony of the next Games on July 26.

The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024, while the Paralympic Games are planned from August 28 to September 8.
