The Paris 2024 Olympics are just around the corner, and anticipation is building for the return of some of the world’s greatest athletes. In this article, we’ll be taking a trip down memory lane to revisit some of the standout moments from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where they are now, and what we can expect from them at Paris 2024.

One of the most dominant forces in athletics is Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah. At Tokyo 2020, she won her second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the women’s 100m and 200m events. Since then, she has continued to excel on the track, winning multiple World Championship titles and breaking records.

Another athlete who left a lasting impression was British cyclist Jason Kenny. With his third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the men’s team sprint event, he cemented his status as one of the greatest cyclists of all time. Now, Kenny is focusing on his professional cycling career and is expected to make an impact at Paris 2024.

In the pool, Japanese swimmer Yui Kamiji made history by becoming the first Japanese woman to win an Olympic medal in swimming. Her gold medal in the women’s doubles event was a momentous occasion for Japanese sports fans. Since then, Kamiji has continued to excel on the international stage, winning multiple World Championship titles.

Another athlete who made headlines at Tokyo 2020 was American gymnast Sunisa Lee. Her historic all-around title win was a first for an Asian-American gymnast, and it marked a significant milestone in the sport. Since then, Lee has continued to push herself to new heights, winning multiple World Championship titles and competing on the international stage.

These athletes are just a few of the many history-makers who will be returning to the Olympic stage at Paris 2024. As we look back on their achievements from Tokyo 2020, it’s clear that these athletes have what it takes to make an impact once again in France.
