A view of the men’s modern pentathlon semifinals at the stadium at the Palace of Versailles on Sept. 9

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games will feature venues in and around the French capital, a world-class tourist destination.

The Grand Palais, a large exhibition hall and museum built to commemorate the 1900 Paris World’s Fair, will host fencing and taekwondo events, while Place de la Concorde, the center of the French Revolution, will be the site of breaking dancing and more.

The Seine River hosted swimming competitions.

The Palace of Versailles, which hosted the 9-day modern pentathlon, is another French icon.

Built by Louis XIV, the “Sun King,” to consolidate his power, the Palace of Versailles became the first French site to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

The palace hosted equestrian competitions from July 27 last month to June 6 this month, and will be transformed into a modern pentathlon venue from July 11 to 15.

The stadium was built on the opposite side of the Grand Canal, away from the entrance and the buildings we usually associate with the Palace of Versailles.

The stadium has more than 15,000 adjustable seats on three sides, with open sides facing the canal, allowing spectators to watch the game with the canal as a backdrop.

The steepness of the seats creates a sense of intensity and grandeur, while the Grand Canal and surrounding lush forests provide a sense of openness and naturalness.

In the center of the stadium is a horseback riding obstacle course with a dirt floor. The obstacles were decorated with the colors of the French flag and the Olympic mascot Frieze.

Around the perimeter of the equestrian arena 카지노사이트 추천 was a laser run (shooting + athletics) course for the final event, flanked by a piste for the fencing bonus round and a swimming pool.

The media center and other facilities were housed in a temporary building. All of these facilities will be demolished at the end of the Games.

Modern pentathlon, which involves fencing, swimming, equestrian, shooting, and athletics in the same athlete, is not usually a “gut” sport, but on this day, the stands were packed to the brim with supporters, even though it was a non-medal semifinal.

Flags of France and other countries were flying everywhere, and the crowd cheered and clapped for each event, from horseback riding and fencing to swimming and the laser run.

The laser run was preceded by a spectacular ‘foot stomping’ and ‘wave riding’ ceremony.

The men’s semifinals kicked off the day, followed by the men’s final and women’s semifinals on the 10th, and the women’s final on the 11th.

South Korea’s Jeon Woong-tae (Gwangju Metropolitan Government), Seo Chang-wan (Armed Forces Sports Unit), Seong Seung-min (Korea Gymnastics University), and Kim Sun-woo (Gyeonggi Provincial Government) will be competing for a medal.
