To get up to speed on everything Paris 2024 Olympics, check out our Olympics hub page. We've got you covered.
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are about to begin, with top-tier athletes from 206 territories arriving in the city of lights ahead of the opening ceremony on July 26.
Along with wanting to know about the athletes' training regimens and lives outside of sport, people are eager to catch a glimpse of the Olympic Village where our Aussie team will reside. Thanks to the era of TikTok athletes, we know exactly what it's like for Aussies in the Olympic Village this year and, spoiler alert, they're not loving it.
However, there are a handful of lucky athletes who will be living it up in a luxury French Château and an even luckier few who will be cruising around sunny Tahiti. Let's get into it.
Listen to The Quicky's episode on the sports of Olympics past here. Post continues below.
The first 'floating Olympic Village' in Tahiti.
Paris may be hosting the 2024 Olympic Games, but the Seine isn't exactly equipped to host a surfing competition. Instead, Surfers will compete in the village of Teahupo'o, on the southwestern coast of the French Polynesian island of Tahiti.
The athletes and their teams will live together on-board the Aranui 5 cruise ship for the event, which boasts a sky bar, dancing room, a library, fitness room and spa.
Unlike their Olympic counterparts in Paris, who are sleeping in shared rooms, the 48 surfers will each have their own rooms on the ship. With comfortable beds to boot.
