Summer Olympics 2024 in Paris: Dates, times, schedules and all you need to know

The Summer Olympics is only months away.

The Summer Olympic Games are typically held every four years, but the timing is slightly different this time around due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics were postponed to 2021, but that did not push the four-year rotation back a year. So, the upcoming Summer Olympics are still occurring in 2024 and will be held in Paris.

For anyone excited for the 2024 Summer Olympics, there is a bunch of gear available to purchase on Fanatics. This gear includes hoodies, polo shirts, and T-shirts.

  • USA Men’s Volleyball has had decent Olympic showings over the years, including a gold medal at 2008 Beijing and a bronze medal at 2016 Rio. The team finished in 10th at the last Summer Olympic Games, so they will look to return to previous form this year.
