The Paris Olympics 2024 are about to begin, bringing two-and-a-half weeks of sporting wonder to our screens. Behind the scenes, Team GB’s chief executive, Andy Anson, has been working hard to prepare everything the athletes need.
He tells Helen Pidd why, as well as ultra-hi-tech wetsuits, the team are taking a barista – and why a good plumber can be essential. He explains the importance of security and psychologists, and why we have a whole new boxing team. And he offers some tips of which athletes to keep an eye on.
The Guardian’s chief sports editor, Sean Ingle, is in Paris and tells us which events he is most excited about, what records are likely to be broken and if any surprises are in store.
