"We, all of us, share the same ambition: Games that will unite, inspire and ultimately help to build a better world through sport. We are going to share our vision based on three components: passion, purpose and engagement," said Tony Estanguet, co-president of the Paris bid committee and three-time Olympic champion.

The Paris bid got a huge boost from Emmanuel Macron, who takes office as the new President of France on Sunday, for his support from the very beginning.

According to Estanguet, Macron looks forward to meeting and working closely with the IOC delegation in the latter's visit to Paris, while no clear time has been set yet.

"Imagine beach volleyball and triathlon at the Eiffel Tower, archery at Les Invalide, fencing and taekwondo in the Grand Palais. Now, stop imagining, because it's real. Paris 2024 is already underway," he said.

The Evaluation Commission delegation is scheduled to visit some proposed venues or iconic backdrops for the 2024 Games, including the Eiffel Tower, Roland Garros and the Stade de France, next Monday.

Paris and Los Angeles, the other remaining candidate city for the world's largest quadrennial sporting event, have entered a crucial phase ahead of their presentations to IOC members in Lausanne, Switzerland in July. The delegation just wrapped up their four-day visit to Los Angeles before arriving in Paris.

The IOC members will vote for the host city of 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Lima, Peru on September 13. Neither of the two cities has put the 2028 Games in its radar, which the IOC also took into its consideration to award each of the two Games to two cities respectively, an effort to avoid leaving the other as a loser.
