French President Emmanuel Macron disclosed that alternative plans are in place for the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in case of excessive security risks, potentially relocating it from the Seine river to Trocadero Square or the Stade de France. The announcement comes as the countdown to the Olympics hits the 100-day mark. The Grand Palais, undergoing renovations since 2020, will host fencing and taekwondo competitions. Concerns over security, public transport, and the quality of the Seine river persist. Despite challenges, Macron reaffirmed the commitment to hosting an exemplary event with respect to labor rights.
