Men’s soccer and rugby to kick off competition.

The International Olympic Committee is considering giving conditional approval for France to host the 2030 Winter Games, pending further financial guarantees. At least 144 LGBTQ athletes are expected to compete in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, setting a record number of out male Olympians. The number of out athletes participating may increase as the event approaches. Additionally, the process of designing and producing the gymnastics leotards for the Olympic Games is a rigorous and detailed process, with almost 10,000 hand-placed crystals on Simone Biles’ leotard alone. The design director at GK Elite, the official leotard manufacturer for the U.S. Olympic team, began working on the Paris Olympics leotards over two years ago, collecting feedback from the gymnasts in contention. The expectations for gymnastics leotards are high, as they are required to be both durable and stylish, reflecting the grit and grace of the athletes. Overall, preparations are underway for both the hosting of the 2030 Winter Games in France and the participation of LGBTQ athletes in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, while attention to detail in costume design highlights the dedication and skill of Olympians.
