"This stadium has everything. It's a nod to history," says Paris 2024 organising committee president Tony Estanguet, as the renovated Yves-du-Manoir stadium in the northwestern Paris suburb of Colombes is inaugurated. The stadium, which was the main site for the 1924 Paris Olympics, is ready, a century later, to welcome hundreds of participants and tens of thousands of spectators. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
