Considering that the final day of the 1924 olympics occurred a day later after the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics, it's incredible how far The Summer & Winter Olympics has gone from back in the early days of the 1900s up until now in the 21st century. Although, some people claim it started on July 5th 1924, but some dates mention May 4th, 1924...But whether it started in May or July, the moment I looked up back a few years ago to see Paris doing the 2024 olympics, 100 years later after their last olympics, it was by sheer coincidence that both the "Chariots Of Fire" film from 1981 and the 1924 Olympics are brought up again to see that occur. And considering Tomorrowland starts on July 19th and again on July 26th, the same day as the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics, it's a great time to be alive for the time being, to see these events all coincide with the Summer Olympics this year, I'd be curious to see how this olympics goes. And Also, it's been 20 years since the Athens 2004 olympics occurred in Athens, Greece.
