Description

Paris plans to make history when it hosts the Summer Olympics this July – becoming the first city to take the Opening Ceremonies out of a stadium. Instead, a boat parade on the Seine will carry more than 10,000 athletes. But the Seine has been plagued with sewage and pollution for decades, and swimming has been banned there for more than 100 years. Will they be able to pull it off? USA TODAY Sports Reporter, Tom Schad, joins us on The Excerpt to discuss how France is preparing for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
