The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics is blending tradition with next-gen innovation—and we’re not just talking about the sports! CGTN Sports Scene has unveiled an augmented reality (AR) studio 🕶️ to bring fans closer to the action, featuring jaw-dropping 3D models of Parisian venues. Think Tony Stark meets the Eiffel Tower! 🏙️⚡
Four urban sports are stealing the spotlight: skateboarding, sport climbing, surfing, and the historic debut of breaking (yes, the dance battle kind! 💃🕺). Breaking will officially become an Olympic event for the first time ever, with competitions set for August 9-10. Meanwhile, sport climbing will scale new heights across four events from August 5-10.
Why does this matter? 🌍 These additions reflect the Games’ push to attract younger, global audiences. Plus, CGTN’s AR tech means viewers worldwide can virtually step into Paris’ iconic venues—no plane ticket needed. 📲✨
Paris 2024 isn’t just rewriting the rulebook—it’s dancing, surfing, and climbing its way into history. Ready to catch the vibe? 🎤🔥
