Home to the French Open, Roland-Garros is one of the most iconic tennis venues in the world, so the chance to watch boxing events in it is a thoroughly unique opportunity. Sub out the famed red clay courts for the rope-lined stage of boxing’s medal rounds and you have what the announcers might dub “a show.”
Committed to the causes of sustainability and innovation, Paris has vowed to host the open-water swimming events in the Seine River. Getting the water safe enough for the athletes is a Herculean task in itself, with some $1.5 billion already invested toward the goal. The payoff is priceless: Watching the athletes glide through the flowing heart of the city will be a magnificent sight — and ideally the beginning of the Seine being swimmable for recreational use!
Debuting as an Olympic sport in Paris, breaking (or breakdancing as it’s more commonly known) will be an event you don’t want to miss. Athletes will have to match their moves to the ever-changing beat of a DJ’s tracks to secure the judge’s votes. Witnessing this lively slice of Olympic history in person will at the minimum make for a lively show!
If you’ve ever dreamed of running in the Olympics, now might be your best chance: The 2024 Games will offer a general-public marathon, where 20,024 runners will get to race along the same course as the elite athletes.

How’s that for a priceless experience?
