Paris is turning up the excitement! 🎉 With just 50 days to go until the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, the iconic Eiffel Tower has been dressed up in style. On Thursday, a massive steel structure of the five Olympic rings was unveiled, adding a festive flair to the City of Love. 🗼❤️
The Olympic logo isn't just any decoration—it’s a giant! Measuring 29 meters in length and 15 meters in height, it proudly adorns the south side of the Eiffel Tower, overlooking the beautiful River Seine. 🌊 This is the very spot where the grand opening ceremony is set to dazzle the world on July 26th. Mark your calendars! 📅
But that's not all! The creation of this monumental symbol has its own cool story. 🤓 ArcelorMittal, a leading steel and mining company, gave the steel a second life by melting and reworking scrap steel at their Châteauneuf and Le Creusot plants. The steel was then rolled in Dunkerque and fashioned into the iconic rings at a workshop near Epinal in the Vosges region. Talk about recycling goals! 🌱♻️
The Olympic rings will shine bright throughout the Games, from July 26th to August 11th, reminding everyone of the unity and spirit of the Olympics. Get ready to cheer on your favorites and embrace the global celebration! 🎇🌍
