The Olympic rings will be displayed at the Eiffel Tower during the Paris Olympics, the company that manages the monument and the Olympic organizing committee told AFP on Monday.
The five rings, representing the five continents and the universal nature of the sport, will be installed on the Seine-facing side of the tower in the coming weeks, said Jean-François Martins, president of the tower's management company Set. It's planned.
Le Parisien newspaper, which first reported that the ring would be displayed in the 300-meter (985-foot) tower, said it would be placed between the first and second floors.
The Olympics will open on July 26th with an unprecedented opening ceremony on the Seine.
Instead of parading around an athletics stadium at the start of the tournament, each team will sail down the Seine in a flotilla in front of up to 500,000 spectators.
