Description

The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games is France's largest-ever event, marking Paris as the third city, after London, to host three Olympic Games. Additionally, it will be the first time the Paralympic Games take place in the French capital.

Team GB, the British Olympic Association's brand for the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic team since 1999, serves to unite athletes across various sports. As the sole nation to secure a gold medal in every Summer Olympic Games since 1896, Team GB's athletes represent the nation's spirit and achievements.

ParalympicsGB, the UK's largest national disability sport charity, is responsible for selecting and funding the British team at the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. Originating from Sir Ludwig Guttmann's pioneering efforts over 70 years ago, ParalympicsGB is not only a successful sports team but also a catalyst for change, challenging perceptions of disability and striving for lasting improvements in the lives of disabled individuals across the UK.
