Running in Paris

Olympics 2024

The Olympics will kick off in Paris in two weeks. I love the Olympics. I have fond childhood memories of watching it with the family. It was the only time in our household that we could have the TV on all day. I don’t know about that logic, because watching TV all day is the opposite of doing sport.

Everyone has their favourite Olympic sport. I enjoy watching running, especially the 100-meter sprints. Run in under 11 seconds, it is precise with no tolerance for mistakes. Even the speed and direction of marginal wind can play into breaking records.

Here is the Olympic schedule for running events in Paris time (CET).

New Zealand runners

For the first time in nearly 50 years, New Zealand has a female 100-metre Olympian in Zoe Hobbs. This is exciting, and she is fast, too. She is significantly faster than any other New Zealand woman before her and the first Oceanian woman to break 11 seconds.

Here are all the events New Zealand runners will be competing in at the Olympics.
