The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 32 PRE-GAMES TRAINING CAMPS: ENSURING REGIONAL INVOLVEMENT AND A REGIONAL LEGACY As soon as the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games are over, athletes from all over the world will be able to find their bearings in one of the 619 facilities selected as Pre-Games Training Camps across 415 locations bearing the “Terre de Jeux” label. High-quality sports facilities and host services were selected to host the athletes in top-class surroundings. The Pre-Games Training Camps are effective support bases that enable athletes to soak up the atmosphere in the host country and start their journey to the Games up to three years before the big event kicks off, playing a key role not only in athletes’ preparation, but also the involvement of regions and local sports clubs. From local authorities’ point of view, hosting a Pre-Games Training Camp can help make their area more attractive. For sports clubs, it’s an opportunity to benefit from the development, renovation and construction of sports facilities. And local residents get a chance to learn more about a particular sport, country or culture. The Pre-Games Training Camps help guarantee the Games’ lasting regional legacy for local authorities, residents and the sporting movement. The French State, through the National Sports Agency, will allocate a budget of €20 million to renovate facilities hosting Pre-Games Training Camps. The Pre-Games Training Camps constitute another opportunity to recall the national scope of the Paris 2024 Games. No fewer than 415 local authorities throughout France might host and support international delegations preparing for the Games. We are committed to getting all of France and all its citizens involved in the Paris 2024 Games. All areas – from the largest region to the smallest town – can take part in our project, which gives everybody the opportunity to join in the Games experience right away and continue to enjoy the celebration for many years to come. TONY ESTANGUET THE MAIN TRAINING CENTRES RENOVATED AS A RESULT OF THE GAMES The sports facilities set to be used for the Games include a certain number of training centres in Seine-Saint-Denis and working-class neighbourhoods in Paris. As part of an impact reduction approach to the Games, local authorities will renovate existing facilities so that athletes can prepare for the events and local residents can exercise in high quality facilities before and after the Games.
