Imagine sitting courtside at a beach volleyball match with the Eiffel Tower casting its iconic shadow over the sand. That’s the reality at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where athletes are spiking and diving just steps from France’s most famous landmark. The event, which kicked off Saturday, blends world-class sports with cinematic Parisian flair—like a blockbuster movie set come to life.
Through CGTN’s Meet in Paris program, viewers get a front-row seat via augmented reality (AR), transforming screens into virtual courtside seats. Host Mike Fox highlights how the Eiffel Tower’s steel arches create a surreal backdrop, merging athleticism with the romance of the City of Light. Whether you’re a sports junkie or a culture lover, this is *the* vibe of #Paris2024.
