Olympics Live Sites in Sydney to Watch all the Action From Paris
- All Ages
The countdown is on to the 2024 Paris Olympics and Sydney certainly has Olympic fever!
It's no secret that Australia is a sports-loving nation to the core. Whether it's cricket, rugby, tennis, or soccer, us Aussies don't just watch sports; we live and breathe them. From toddlers who can barely walk kicking a footy around the backyard, to pensioners debating the finer points of cricket over a cuppa, sports are our national pastime and obsession. It's no wonder that come Olympics time, the whole country morphs into a sea of green and gold, and even the kangaroos seem to hop a little higher in patriotic support!
The 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics are finally here, so ditch the couch and get amongst the festivities at these Olympics live sites in Sydney where all the action will stream live from Paris.
