The Paris Olympics organizers have revealed a stunning display of the five Olympic rings mounted on the iconic Eiffel Tower as the French capital celebrates 50 days until the commencement of the Summer Games. The rings, crafted from recycled French steel, are showcased on the south side of the 135-year-old landmark, offering a breathtaking view overlooking the Seine River. Each ring boasts an impressive diameter of 9 meters (30 feet).
During the opening ceremony on July 26, thousands of athletes will parade through the heart of Paris on boats along a 6-kilometer (3.7-mile) route on the Seine at sunset. The Eiffel Tower, affectionately known as La Dame de Fer (The Iron Lady), will play a central role in the Paris Games, with men's and women's volleyball matches set to take place at the foot of the 330-meter (1,083-foot) monument.
