USPA NEWS - As we approach the symbolic 365-day countdown to the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Organising Committee commissioned Harris Interactive to conduct an opinion poll based on a sample of 2,345 people representative of the population in France aged 15 and over.

Finally, 65% of respondents said they would be likely to follow the Games live (65%), and a third said they would attend fan zones (33%). The full results are available in the attached study w
