General Information on the Paris 1924 Olympic Games The 1924 Games represented the coming of age for the Olympics. They were held in Paris in tribute to Pierre de Coubertin, the retiring president of the International Olympic Committee (Ioc) and founder of the Olympic movement. The games featured a high calibre of competition. These were the first Games to have an Olympic Village. No. of Sports: 20 No. of Events: 131 No. of National Teams: 45 No. of Participants: 3,256 Comment:- In 2024, the year of the Olympiad in Paris this medal minted in 1924 has reached the exalted status of an antiquarian medal. From now on, its price will be on the ascendancy, as is the case with any antiquarian medal. The world population in 1924 was less than 2 billion, whereas in 2024, a century later, it had passed the 8 billion figure. Global sporting events like the Olympic games attract tv audiences numbering several billions. (2020 Tokyo Olympics, for instance, is estimated to have been seen by nearly 3 billion). This dramatic increase in viewing figures and a general rise in the interest in global sports has led to legions of sports lovers all over the world joining the ranks of sports memorabilia collectors. Sports memorabilia now ranks highly in the leagues of alternative investment leagues.
