When you think of the Olympics, many people think of athletes competing at the highest level on the world’s biggest sporting stage. 

The athletic world is a competitive place to be, but did you know that it’s not just athletes who need to qualify for the Olympics?

Before each Olympic year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) carefully reviews the sports that will be included in that year’s games. Ultimately, the host country has the final say over which sports get chosen. This decision is based on multiple factors such as the popularity of the sport, its financial success, gender equality and youth appeal. 

Unfortunately, only five new sports can be added in a given year, so not every sport makes the cut. 

With five new sports added to the roster at Tokyo 2020, we have been deliberating what other fun and interesting sports deserve a spot in the Paris Olympics 2024. 

Let’s take a look at some exciting outdoor sports in Paris that we would love to see at the games!

1)  Paintballing

While there are many shooting and pistol events present at the Olympics, we believe that there is one that needs to be added to the lineup – paintballing! 

Can you imagine the thrill as teams navigate through intricate arenas, jumping over obstacles and strategising how to outmanoeuvre their opponents? Among the sports in Paris, paintballing could bring a whole new level of strategic gameplay and team-based competition to the games. 

Paintballing is a thrilling sport that combines physical endurance, tactical planning and urban warfare to create dynamic and fast-paced matches. Moreover, the colourful splashes of paint would add a wonderful visual element, making each game a sight to behold. 

The high-energy and adrenaline-pumping action would be a fresh and exciting addition to the Paris Olympics. Including paintballing as one of the sports events in the Paris Olympics would showcase how modern games can evolve and captivate a global audience.

2) Axe Throwing

Rooted in ancient warrior training, axe throwing has seen an unexpected surge in popularity as a modern sport. For its pure awesomeness alone, we wager that axe throwing deserves a spot at the 2024 Olympic Games. 

The thrill of watching athletes in Paris gather and hurl axes with precision and power, all in hopes of securing a medal for their country, would be magnificent. 

As a sport that demands incredible focus, strength and skill, we think that it would make an ideal addition to the Olympic lineup. The sound of axes hitting targets paired with the crowd’s roars of excitement as they cheer for the athletes would create an electrifying atmosphere. 

The visual alone of axes flying through the air amidst a backdrop of iconic Parisian landmarks would be nothing short of iconic. Including axe throwing would not only diversify the Olympic sports portfolio, but it would also celebrate the rich history and nature of competitive sport. 

We are confident that axe throwing at the Paris Olympics would be a unique and thrilling event that fans around the world would be eager to watch. 

3) Blindfolded Archery

Archery has a long and complicated history with the Olympic Games. From its initial introduction in the 1900s to being dropped in 1920, then after a 52 year hiatus, finally making a comeback in the 1972 games. Despite this, archery has grown to attract quite a crowd and become a much loved sport across the world.

Well, what if we could make archery more interesting? Blindfolded archery presents an opportunity to take this ancient sport to a whole new level of precision and skill. Sit back and watch competitors channel incredible focus as they attempt to hit a target without their sight. 

Blindfolded archery would test athletes in Paris on their ability to connect mind and body and harness the full capabilities of human coordination and concentration. Amidst the stunning backdrop of Paris, blindfolded archery would be a challenging yet captivating event. 

The hushed silence before a competitor releases their arrow and the collective gasp of the audience as it hits the target would create a magnificently intense atmosphere. 

Among sports in the Paris Olympics 2024, blindfolded archery would be a symbol of the versatility and adaptability of sports and make an intriguing addition to the games. 

4) Hovercraft Racing

It may be a stretch economically, but hovercraft racing would be an incredible way to add a futuristic and exhilarating element to the Paris Olympics. 

Imagine sleek, high-speed hovercrafts racing over the waters of the Seine and manoeuvring through a challenging course against the beautiful Parisian skyline. A sport that combines quick thinking with driving skills, hovercraft racing demands complete mastery over these powerful, floating machines. 

The roar of the hovercraft engines and the spray of water during races would only add to the excitement, creating a visual spectacle for global audiences. Additionally, hovercraft racing would also be an opportunity to highlight technological advancements and sustainable transport. 

If you’re eager to try your hand at hovercraft racing, we’ve got you covered. At Avalanche Adventures, our skilled experts will show you the ropes and help you take to the waters. Book your slots now!

Among the many sports in Paris during the Olympics, hovercraft racing would inspire a sense of wonder and excitement about where the future of sports could go. We are certain it would make for an unforgettable and groundbreaking Olympic event!
