International Olympic Committee news

Held 24 years after Paris hosted the Games of the II Olympiad in 1900 – part of the International Universal Exhibition – the 1924 Games marked the last edition under the presidency of Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Marking the end of an era, the event initiated many Olympic traditions and innovations that still stand today.

Olympic Village

Among the most significant firsts was the introduction of an Olympic Village, a concept that has since evolved into a sophisticated, athlete-centric housing model used in all subsequent Games. The 1924 Village was built near the Stade Olympique in Colombes, northwest of Paris. Composed of an array of temporary wooden cabins, with three beds in each, it had a currency exchange bureau, a dry-cleaner’s, a hairdresser’s, a newsagents and a post office.

Its modern-day successor, the Paris 2024 Olympic Village, is set to revolutionise athlete accommodation once again. Located at the juncture of three northern Paris suburbs, the village offers state-of-the-art housing for athletes. But the development is also set to significantly improve the lives of local residents. After the Games it will become a new residential district, offering 2,800 apartments for some 6,000 people, with 25 per cent of it social housing. The district will provide work for 6,000 people, along with leisure, commercial, community and educational facilities. The Paris 2024 Olympic Village is a model of sustainable urban development, built with wood and recycled materials, and employing processes that reduce the carbon footprint by 30 per cent per square metre compared to other construction sites in France.

Olympic Flag

The 1924 Games also introduced the flag protocol during the Closing Ceremony. The practice involves the ceremonial lowering of the Olympic flag, signifying the end of the Games and the passing of the Olympic spirit to the next host city, in a spirit of unity and continuity of the Olympic Movement.

The Children’s Games

Part of the Paris 1924 Games, the Children’s Games, a precursor to today’s Youth Olympic Games, included a variety of athletic events designed specifically for children, encouraging physical activity and embodying the ideals of fair play, excellence and respect.

Today, Paris 2024 continues to encourage as many young people as possible to develop a lasting physical activity habit. To avoid children slipping into sedentary lifestyles, organisers have supported schools throughout France to provide children with 30 minutes of exercise every day. As part of the 1,2,3 Nagez! (1,2,3 Swim!) Programme, Paris 2024 has offered free swimming lessons to more than 26,000 children across France – including 9,400 from Seine-Saint-Denis, an area where half of 11-year-olds do not know how to swim.

Sport and Culture

The 1924 Games were a blend of classical Olympic traditions and the avant-garde spirit of the 1920s, reflecting the dynamic cultural landscape of Paris at the time. The International Sports Exhibition, held as part of the Games, showcased new sports technologies and products, setting a precedent for technological innovation and cultural celebration going hand in hand. The Games hosted Olympic Art Competitions, which included literature, sculpture, painting, architecture and music.

Continuing the tradition of uniting culture and sport, the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad features thousands of mostly free events across France. A multidisciplinary artistic and cultural programme that runs before and during the Games and until 8 September 2024, the Cultural Olympiad highlights emotion and beauty while promoting inclusivity and community participation by blending artistic and athletic expressions.

Urban Development and Lasting Infrastructure

In preparation for the 1924 Games, Paris undertook significant urban development projects. The refurbishment of three railway lines and the construction of the Gare du Stade station significantly enhanced the city’s infrastructure. These improvements not only facilitated the Games but also provided long-term benefits for Paris’s transport network.

The Stade Olympique de Colombes, now known as the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium, was a central venue during the 1924 Games, hosting athletics, gymnastics and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Nearly a century later, the stadium will be used once again, serving as the venue for field hockey events. This reuse of a significant historical site underscores the commitment to preserving the legacy of past Games while modernising facilities to meet contemporary standards.

Another venue from the 1924 Games that will be in use for Paris 2024 is the Stade Nautique des Tourelles, today named Georges-Vallerey swimming pool. Originally constructed for the swimming, diving and water polo events of the 1924 Games, the facility will be used for training sessions by the swimming, marathon swimming and triathlon athletes at Paris 2024.

Paris 2024: Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future

As Paris gears up for the 2024 Games, the city is honouring its rich Olympic heritage while addressing contemporary challenges. The first Games to fully embrace the IOC’s strategic roadmap, Olympic Agenda 2020, the Games are adapting to the needs of their host, reducing their footprint, and maximising positive impacts that are intended to last and serve generations to come.

The fifth season of GoDaddy’s documentary series Made in America pays a visit to Ohio, a vibrant, diverse state where extraordinary entrepreneurs exemplify the essence of American hard work and ingenuity. 

Today, there are over 490,000 microbusinesses in Ohio, according to GoDaddy Venture Forward research. A microbusiness is defined as those having 10 or fewer employees, a domain and an active website.

From industrial Cleveland to rural Appalachia, we learn how strong community partnerships nurture growth in a region climbing out of the economic decline from waning U.S. manufacturing since the 1950s. 

We’ll also witness results driven by the Economic & Community Development Institute (ECDI), a local, long-term partner in our global signature social impact program, Empower by GoDaddy. 

Launched in 2017, Empower by GoDaddy provides training, digital tools, mentorship and peer networks to entrepreneurs in underserved communities. 

“Being around my parents and their friends, I saw how everybody wanted to have something of their own — to start their own business, to own their own home,” said Inna Kinney, founder and CEO of ECDI who comes from an entrepreneurial family. “And unfortunately, there was nothing out there to help these individuals.”​

Since 2004, ECDI — the leading Small Business Administration microlender in the country by number of loans distributed for the past three years — has supported the local creation and retention of more than 43,000 jobs and distributed some $180 million in loans to emerging businesses in Ohio.

Made in America was created to share inspiration through true stories of entrepreneurs.The series uses an unfiltered documentary approach to highlight real-life entrepreneurial journeys and acknowledge the scarcity of opportunities and resources for underserved entrepreneurs. 

The series advocates for an inclusive experience and the support of small businesses in all communities, with previous seasons shot in Baltimore, Phoenix, Atlanta and Memphis.

Let’s meet our Ohio entrepreneurs: the owners of Carter’s BBQ and Gray Brush Vintage Market​.

Carter’s BBQ

When husband-and-wife team Darren and Theresa Carter aren’t devoting their energy to fostering children and raising their recently adopted son, they’re working on their business Carter’s BBQ. 

The series follows their family after Darren quits his long-time job at a steel mill to pursue his passion for barbecue. In a summer of big make-it-or-break-it events, the family came together to build Carter’s BBQ from the ground up.

And, now, they’re cooking up good stuff. 

In 2023, the Carters were recognized by the Kingsford “Preserve the Pit” program, which spotlights people and stories in the Black community who have shaped the barbecue tradition.

Darren hosts the podcast The Unknowns Black Pitmasters — available on Spotify, Amazon and Apple — which focuses on Black barbecue enthusiasts and pitmasters across the country. The podcast features modern-day grill masters — from backyard cooks, to TV personalities, and everyone in between.

Gray Brush Vintage Market​

Located in Portsmouth, Ohio, a quaint town of 17,000 situated on a bank of the Ohio River, Gray Brush Vintage Market​ was born of a passion for yesteryears’ beauty and the comforting charm of small-town living.

Co-owners Lisa Brickey and Vonda Rogers​ started the business in 2021, turning their shared love for vintage treasures into a shop that operates both online and as a brick-and-mortar establishment. Gray Brush retails vintage and new items, curates collections and rents merchandise for display or scenery.

The pair have been friends since childhood, supporting each other through life, from raising families to embracing grandparenthood. Lisa and Vonda are both wives, mothers and grandmothers with deep roots in the community.

The series follows them as they attempt to grow their business, enduring funding challenges, formidable competition and a big pivot in their business model — all while honoring the legacies of their families.

July 16, 2024 /3BL/ – The Consumer Goods Forum’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) proudly participated in the Living Wage & Living Income Summit, held on 26-27 June 2024 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This summit organised in partnership by IDH, The Sustainable Trade Initiative, GIZ and the UN Global Compact, gathered over 400 public and private sector decision-makers from producing and consuming countries to address living wage and living income gaps within global value chains.

The summit saw significant strides towards closing living wage and income gaps through collaborative actions between the public and private sectors, producers and buyers, and social dialogue. Participants engaged in knowledge transfer, shared tools, and case examples, which underscored the possibilities and opportunities for further collaboration in this critical area. International organisations and due diligence regulations are increasingly recognising and embracing the importance of living wages and incomes.

Representing the SSCI was Luiza Reguse, who participated actively in the summit’s discussions. The first day featured a comprehensive program, including international developments presented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), networking opportunities, and interactive breakout sessions.

On the second day, the focus shifted to developing the “Roadmap on Living Wage: Shaping its Next Phase Together.” The SSCI participated in the stakeholder committee, discussing the future of responsible sourcing and exploring the integration of living wage considerations into the SSCI Benchmark. Although our current social sustainability benchmark does not cover living wages, our involvement in these discussions marks a significant step forward. We are committed to understanding the landscape and studying the potential inclusion of living wage criteria, guided by emerging ILO standards and industry expectations.

The SSCI plays a crucial role in the sustainability landscape by setting the bar for industry expectations, recognising best practices, and offering a benchmark for third-party audit and certification standards. Our engagement in the Living Wage & Living Income Summit highlights how we work with industry in driving positive change and ensuring credible and trustworthy sustainability practices in global supply chains.

Living wages and incomes are essential to achieving sustainable economic development. As we continue to engage in global conversations and collaborate with various stakeholders, we invite you to join us in making strides towards fairer and more sustainable value chains.

As the SSCI remains dedicated to being a cornerstone of sustainability standards, driving continuous improvement and fostering global collaboration, we encourage you to learn more about our efforts.
