The Olympic Games is the largest and most influential comprehensive sports event in the world. It originated in ancient Greece more than two thousand years ago. The prize was just a laurel wreath woven with olive branches and it was named after the place where it was held, Olympia. After London, Paris has become the second city to host the Summer Olympics three times.

The mascots of the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics are Phryge. It is the personified image of the traditional French Phrygian cap. In the cartoon "The Smurfs", the Smurfs wear Phrygian caps. It is also known as the "Cap of Liberty", representing freedom, inclusiveness and people's ability to support great and meaningful causes. The main color is red, supplemented by blue and white, which is in perfect harmony with the colors of the French flag.
