Her idea is not unanimous, but Anne Hidalgo confirmed it at the end of last week in a press conference: the Olympic rings will remain attached to the Eiffel Tower. At least for the next Olympics. The Paralympic agitos will also be kept, not on the Arc de Triomphe, where they were installed at the end of June, but somewhere on the Champs-Elysées. The mayor of Paris explained it at a press conference: " The proposal I made is that until 2028, that is until the Los Angeles Olympics, we will leave the rings on the Eiffel Tower and the agitos on the Champs-Elysées. And maybe they will stay after, we will see. » Anne Hidalgo specified that the current version of the rings, too heavy to withstand strong gusts, will be replaced by a lighter model, designed to get through the winter without incident. Pierre Rabadan, the deputy mayor of Paris in charge of Sports, the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Seine, explained for his part that the current rings will be " filed in September."
