On April 2nd, with less than 4 months until the opening of the Paris Olympics, businesses in Yiwu, Zhejiang, have already received a large number of orders for Olympic-related merchandise, creating a gradually intensifying Olympic atmosphere.

According to relevant data, in January and February of this year, Yiwu's exports to France reached 540 million CNY, a year-on-year increase of 42%. Among them, the export of sports goods increased by 70.5% compared to the same period.

According to information, the 2024 Paris Olympics will open on July 26th and close on August 11th, with some events starting as early as July 24th.

The mascot for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics is "Frizou," a personified version of the traditional French frigian cap.

Tony Estanguet, President of the Paris Organizing Committee, stated that the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics will interpret the "intersection of sports and the city," with the evening sun adding a "poetic dimension" to the ceremony, welcoming athletes and the public to appreciate the natural beauty of Paris, the city of light and shadow. s_81ae2e31deca42edb1117247ed6d16a5.jpg
