Paris enters race to host 2024 Olympics
Paris has announced their bid to host the 2024 Olympics, which would mark 100 years since they last did so.
The French capital missed out to London for right to stage the 2012 Games and also submitted failed bids for the 2008 and 1992 Games.
Rome, Boston and Hamburg have already declared they will bid to stage the event, while Budapest is also expected to enter the running.
Paris last hosted the Olympics in 1924, where the achievements of British runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell were immortalised in the Oscar winning film Chariots of Fire.
