With less than 500 days to go before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, the organizers unveiled the testing programme on late Thursday, with the first test event to take place in Marseille from 9 to 16 July, when the city’s marina will host an international sailing competition. The testing programme will be held over the 12 months leading up to the Games, culminating with athletics and Para-athletics operational tests at the Stade de France in June 2024.
