Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community. 

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos. 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic). 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit. 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame. 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024  </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing. 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (£13) for the Paralympic games. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>
Though the Paris Olympics will go from July 26-Aug to 11, 2024, but the Opening Ceremony for the games will take place on July 26. There will be various events such as handball, rugby, soccer, and archery starting on July 24 and 25.

NBC and Peacock will broadcast live Olympic events, including finals in track, field, swimming, and gymnastics, both morning and afternoon. NBC will provide nine hours of daily daytime coverage. Also, there will be an enhanced three-hour primetime show in every night during the games. These will feature behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and athlete insights.

Shericka Jackson is one of the most prominent figures in track and field. Jackson predominantly competes in 100-meter, 200-meter, and 400-meter heats. Jackson particularly specializes in the 200- and 400-meter categories and has been a dominant force in these disciplines. She is most widely regarded as one of the greatest runners of all time.
As of 2023, her net worth was reported to be around $5 million. In May 2023, she was the top Diamond League earner in the world and topped the list of 20 athletes around the world. The primary source of her income stems from the prize money she earns participating in various professional track and field events.

<h2>Shericka?Jackson?s?Family?and?Early?Life</h2>
Jackson, born on July 16, 1994, in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica, to Desmond Jackson and Diana Llewellyn, has a brother named Ian Jackson. She initiated her track and field journey at Steer Town Academy and later transferred to Vere Technical High School to further her education while pursuing her athletic aspirations.
Competing at Vere Technical, Jackson began carving out her name in the athletic world. Having excelled at Vere Technical, she secured victory in the 200m at the national trials and has been representing Jamaica in this event since her youth days.

<h2>Jamaican?Sensation?Shericka?Jackson?s?Track?and?Field?Achievements</h2>
Shericka Jackson has been making headlines since 2008, when she started to participate in various competitions like the CACAC Junior Championships and the CARIFTA Games. She started her career as a 400-meter runner and later transitioned to shorter divisions, like 100 meters and 200 meters.
She also made a significant impact at events like the 2010 Youth Olympics, the 2011 World Youth Championships, where she was placed third, and the 2012 World Junior Championships.
In 2015, she made history at the age of 21 when she finished a 400-meter heat in under 51 seconds, followed by another 400-meter finish in under 50 seconds in the same year in June.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1191182" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/FMXgCbAXMAESDJ4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="893" />
During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she secured a bronze medal in 100 meter after a 10.76-second finish, which was also a new personal best for her.
She achieved a significant milestone in her career in 2022 when she became the world champion in the 200 meter after clocking an incredible time of 21.45 seconds, which was also the second fastest finish in the women's category at that time. In the 100-meter heat, she claimed a silver after a finish of 10.73 seconds.
With this, she also became the seventh-fastest woman in the world. In that same year, she secured victory in the 200-meter Diamond League final in Zurich, completing the heat in an impressive 21.82 seconds.
Jackson is the reigning world champion in the 200 meters currently and has successfully defended her title with a dominant finish at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. She bettered her time of 21.45 seconds and crossed the finish line in 21.41 seconds on the Budapest tracks.
Jackson is currently ranked number one in the 200-meter women's rankings and is the fastest woman alive in the same category and the second fastest overall after America's Florence Griffith Joyner.

<h2>Shericka?Jackson?vs?Sha?Carri?Richardson?On-Field?Rivalry</h2>
The rivalry between Sha'Carri Richardson and Shericka Jackson began as both athletes aimed to excel on the track. However, the two of them never shy away from appreciating each other's talent and are recognized for the mutual respect they share.
Yet, amidst their camaraderie, one thing remains constant, and that is their unwavering determination to outshine each other every time they step onto the track. A few months ago, Richardson posted an all-time best record for herself at the USATF 100-meter meet after crossing the finish line in 10.71 seconds. The very next day, Jackson broke this record and posted a new time of 10.65 seconds.
