Bonjour, chers lecteurs. Forget Mr. Big, the 2024 Summer Olympics are moving to Paris. Gear up for two weeks of swimming, triathlons, biking, gymnastics, and a beaucoup amount of other sports. There are over 300 medal events to keep track of as thousands of athletes, and almost 600 for Team USA, vie for the Olympic gold.
