IOC President Thomas Bach has completed a two-day visit to Paris, after discussing the city’s bid to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games with French President Francois Hollande.
“Paris 2024 is a very strong candidate using some of the city's iconic sights as a backdrop for the Olympic Games,” said Bach,
“It is a project in line with the reforms of Olympic Agenda 2020 particularly in terms of sustainability and legacy with 95 percent of proposed venues either existing or temporary. It also puts athletes at the heart of the Games.”
Bach completed his visit at a football match between refugees and French athletes, organised by the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo
