Olympic 2024

The 2024 Olympic marathon route will take runners from Paris to Versailles and back.

The route announcement was made on the 233rd anniversary of one of the early, significant events of the French Revolution: the Women’s March on Versailles — “to pay tribute to the thousands of women who started their march at city hall to Versailles to take up their grievances to the king and ask for bread,” Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet said.

Last December, organizers announced the marathons will start at Hôtel de Ville [city hall, opposite Notre-Dame off the Seine River] and end at Les Invalides, a complex of museums and monuments one mile southeast of the Eiffel Tower.

On Wednesday, the rest of the route was unveiled — traversing the banks of the Seine west to the Palace of Versailles and then back east, passing the Eiffel Tower before the finish.

The men’s and women’s marathons will be on the last two days of the Games at 8 a.m. local time [2 a.m. ET]. It will be the first time that the women’s marathon is held on the last day of the Games after the men’s marathon traditionally occupied that slot.

A mass public marathon will also be held on the Olympic marathon route. The date has not been announced.

A spectacular, demanding, and unprecedented race!

Two-time Olympic figure skater Jason Brown will end his break from competition at January’s U.S. Championships.

“Not finished quite yet… See you in San Jose,” Brown, 27, posted on social media Wednesday night.

Brown’s coaches, Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson, also shared an image Wednesday of him in skates tagged at the Toronto club where he trained throughout the last Olympic cycle.

A representative for Brown confirmed that the skater plans to compete at nationals in San Jose, California, from Jan. 28-29 and will not enter another competition before then.

Brown, after placing sixth at the Olympics, chose to sit out this fall’s Grand Prix Series while on “a mini break from the competitive grind of training,” a representative said in July. Brown’s plan at the time was to reevaluate his future in the fall.

Brown’s Olympic teammates, gold medalist Nathan Chen and Vincent Zhou, are also sitting out the Grand Prix Series and have not said if or when they will return to competition.

In their absences, Ilia Malinin emerged as the top U.S. male skater, winning the world junior title in April and Skate America two weeks ago.

It’s likely that the top three men at nationals in January are offered spots on the team for March’s world championships in Japan.

Brown, the 2015 U.S. champion, can become the oldest U.S. men’s singles skater to compete at worlds since Jeremy Abbott‘s last appearance in 2014.

The world’s top female gymnast is crowned in the world gymnastics championships women’s all-around final, live on Peacock on Thursday at 2:50 p.m. ET.

Rebeca Andrade, the Olympic all-around silver medalist, is favored to become the first Brazilian to win an all-around gold medal. Americans Shilese Jones and Jade Carey are also medal contenders in Liverpool, England.

A U.S. woman won all 10 Olympic and world all-around titles from 2011 through the Tokyo Games, with Simone Biles taking six of them. Biles and Tokyo Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee are on indefinite, perhaps permanent breaks from elite competition.

Konnor McClain, who won the U.S. all-around title in August, is also not at worlds, withdrawing last month with a back injury.

Enter Jones, who went from 10th at last year’s Olympic Trials and mulling elite retirement to the top all-arounder on this year’s world team. Jones, 20, was second at nationals and won a selection camp competition last month.

Carey, eighth in the Tokyo Olympic all-around, beat out Tokyo team silver medalist Jordan Chiles for the second and final spot in the world all-around final.
