Games under the Eiffel Tower - on and in the Seine. Paris hosted the Olympic Games for the third time and the Paralympics for the first time. What great sport and what magnificent images! An impressive and effective statement for a peaceful and better world - or a utopia in times of war and violence?
A few weeks after the fire went out, the many impressions of Paris are still present, while at the same time the memory of the festive days of sport is enriched by differentiated reflections with increasing distance. We are therefore very much looking forward to indulging in Olympic and Paralympic memories with the main protagonists of the event, those who were there and those who were in the thick of it, and to combining a look back with a look forward.
What remains of the Games in Paris? And: What will follow from them? And at least in passing, we want to ask whether and when we want to and can once again welcome the "youth of the world" to the great peace festivals of sport in this country.
We cordially invite you to the event on October 7 at 7 p.m. in the Olympia Lounge. Tickets can be booked free of charge via the store on our homepage. Further details on the program and guests can be found here.
An event of the German Sport & Olympia Museum and the Franco-German Youth Office
