Paris is once again the center for the biggest summer sporting event that comes every four years on the sports calendar.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will put the City of Light at the center of the sports world for the third time in the city's history, as athletes from all around the globe gather to compete while representing their countries and territories in the world's biggest sporting event.
And these Paris Games are set out to be historic — from several angles.
2024 PARIS OLYMPICS: Follow USA TODAY's full coverage here
The 2024 Games ties Paris with London as the cities to have hosted the Summer Games the most (three times each). It will be the first time that the opening ceremony of the Olympics will take place outside of the Olympic Stadium, as the parade of nations will take place along Paris' famous Seine River. Breaking (i.e. break dancing), will make its Olympics debut, while surfing will take place 9,000 miles away on the island of Tahiti.
And then there is of course the history that the United States is looking to continue setting, including Kevin Durant looking to become the first male Olympian to win four consecutive gold medals in basketball.
Here's what you need to know on where the 2024 Summer Olympics are at:

The 2024 Summer Olympics are being held in Paris. It is the third time — 1900 and 1924 are the others — that the Summer Games are being held in Paris, tying it with London for the most a city has hosted the event the most.
Here's a breakdown of where the events at the Olympics will be taking place at in Paris:
Join our Chasing Gold newsletter: Your guide to the 2024 Paris Olympics
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has selected its host sites and countries for the Olympics through 2034, with news dropping on Wednesday that host site bids were awarded to the French Alps and Salt Lake City, respectively, for the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics.
The next Olympics will occur in 2026 in Italy, between the two cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy.
The next Summer Games will return to the United States in 2028, giving Los Angeles its third Olympic Games, tying it with Paris and London. It is the first time that Los Angeles will host the games since 1984, when Carl Lewis matched Jesse Owens' Olympic record for four gold medals in one Olympic Games.
It will be the ninth time that the United States has hosted the Olympics: five Summer Olympics and four Winter Olympics. (The 2034 Salt Lake City Olympics will give the U.S. 10 total, including a fifth Winter Games).
Following L.A., the Summer Olympics will then head to Brisbane, Australia in 2032. The 2032 Summer Games will mark the third time overall that Australia has hosted the Olympics and the first time in 32 years, when the games took place in Sydney in 2000.
NBCUniversal once again serves as the main broadcasting partner of the Olympics. While the 2024 Paris Olympics will mostly air on NBC, including all primetime coverage, the Olympics will also air in English on USA Network, GOLF Channel, CNBC and E!, according to NBCUniversal .
You can also stream the entirety of the Olympics on Peacock or on Fubo , the which carries NBC/CNBC/USA Network/E!/GOLF Channel and offers a free trial to select users. Other options include NBCOlympics.com, the NBC app and the NBC Olympic App, provided you have a cable login authentication.

MAIB investigation report 7-2024: Channel Queen
On 20 July 2023, the UK registered motor vessel Channel Queen grounded as it passed over the wreck of the steam ship Varvassi near the Needles lighthouse, Isle of Wight, England while escorting a relay swim event around the island. Channel Queen was then deliberately beached in nearby Scratchell’s Bay.
The passengers and crew abandoned Channel Queen to its rigid inflatable boat and a liferaft and were then transferred to a Royal National Lifeboat Institution lifeboat. Channel Queen was subsequently declared a total loss.
The investigation found that there was no charted navigational passage plan; effective use was not being made of the available navigation equipment to execute a safe passage; the qualified skipper had departed the vessel to a kayak before Channel Queen grounded; and the vessel was being driven by Channel Queen’s owner, who was insufficiently qualified to be in command.
Statement from the Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents
the risks associated with ineffective passage planning were not considered before the voyage commenced. The skipper’s passage plan did not provide a sound basis for the safe circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight while providing swim support close inshore.
the skipper and owner prioritised the swim event over the safe navigation of the vessel. When the vessel grounded, the skipper had left the vessel after a very brief handover to the owner, who was insufficiently qualified to command and was attempting to deal with multiple distractions single-handedly.
the skipper disembarking to the kayak had become a normalised procedure during previous swim support events. Both the owner and the skipper had overlooked the requirement for the vessel to always remain under the command of an appropriately qualified crew member when underway.
Swimon Proprietary Limited has been recommended (2024/123) to implement a process to ensure that any vessel it operates or engages from a third party to support its events is crewed by sufficient numbers of personnel who are suitably qualified for the intended area of operation and that these personnel remain on board at all times when underway.
The company has also been recommended (2024/124) to review the method of navigation passage planning used on board any vessel it operates to ensure that recommended good practice is followed, including making appropriate use of charts and charting systems.

Judge turns down MLB players’ union request to confirm arbitrator decision against Bad Bunny firm
NEW YORK (AP) — The Major League Baseball Players Association lost in its attempt to get a federal judge to confirm an arbitration decision denying an attempt by an agent at Bad Bunny’s Rimas Sports firm to block his decertification by the union.
U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman wrote Thursday that the arbitrator’s decision was not a final ruling in the case and not subject to judicial confirmation. The discipline remained in place while an appeal is heard by a different arbitrator.
The union revoked the certification of agent William Arroyo and denied the applications for certification by Rimas co-owners Noah Assad and Jonathan Miranda on April 10, citing alleged violations of agent regulations. The three were prohibited from reapplying for certification for five years, and the union issued a $400,000 fine and said certified agents could not associate with Rimas, the three individuals and any associated entities.
Rimas was founded in 2021 with the goal of representing Latin players.
The players’ association claimed Rimas employees had been “offering and providing gifts to players they did not represent including, but not limited to, VIP concert tickets to `Bad Bunny’ concerts and suite access to a Phoenix Suns game.” The union also said the agents violated regulations “by providing, causing to be provided, or promising to provide, money and/or other things of value to players for the purpose of inducing or encouraging players to use their services as agents.”
Arbitrator Michael H. Gottesman on April 19 denied a request for a temporary restraining order against the union while arbitrator Ruth M. Moscovitch hears an appeal by Arroyo, Assad and Miranda on the merits of the discipline. In addition, Moscovitch denied a stay motion on July 7.
The union filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan for a motion to confirm Gottesman’s decision.
“Arbitrator Gottesman’s three-page, emailed decision is not a confirmable award,” Liman wrote in a 17-page decision. “The ruling, by its terms, did not finally and conclusively resolve all of the issues submitted by the parties as part of the arbitration.”
Rimas Sports, under its corporate name Diamond Sports LLC, sued the union in federal court in San Juan, Puerto Rico, accusing it of violating Puerto Rico’s general tort claim and tortious interference with its contracts to represent players.
Rimas declined comment on the decision, spokeswoman María de Lourdes Martínez said. The union did not have an immediate response on a request for comment.

A server event and a streamer championship for the ages!
It’s almost time to kick off the competition! Or maybe I should say competitions , since there will be not one but two MCC events this month! During our 15-year anniversary celebration, we announced that we partnered up with Noxcrew to organize a special edition of MC Championship (aka MCC), and today we’re bringing you official dates and exciting deets! Not only will you get to watch Minecraft streamers battle over the prestigious Ender Cup, but you’ll also get to face your own battles in MCC-inspired mini-games for rewards in a server event for Bedrock Edition. Are you up for the challenge? Then let's see what trials await...
On July 22 we’re opening the virtual gates to the MC Championship x Minecraft 15th Anniversary Party, a two-week server event celebrating Minecraft’s 15th anniversary in (you’ve guessed it) MCC style. This festive village has everything: four MCC-inspired mini-games with rewards, hidden challenges, shops, and collectibles! Plus, by completing activities, you’ll earn Character Creator items, including the exclusive, official, MC Championship Cape!
To enter the MCC Party, simply click the dedicated button on the main screen of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. The event will be open between July 22 at 10am PST / 7pm CET to August 4 at 3pm PST / August 5 at 12am CET. The server is only accessible via Bedrock Edition, and you’ll need an internet connection to join. This means you’ll need a subscription like Xbox Live Gold/Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, or Nintendo Switch Online if you play on console. For child accounts, make sure that you enable server play in the account’s settings.
The Ace Race mini-game
The Grid Runners mini-game
The Sands of Time mini-game
Not only will you be able to experience MCC mini-games for yourself, but also earn currency that you can use in the shop – more on that in a bit! First, let’s look at the selection of mini-games. For nimble crafters, there’s Ace Race , where you traverse a short obstacle course and leverage speed boosts, jump pads, and elytra sections. Grid Runners is a variety-challenge course where you must complete each task within a set amount of time before moving on to the next one. Fun fact: this mini-game was originally a free map from Minecon Earth 2018! Feeling adventurous? Dive into Sands of Time , a dungeon-delving PVE mini-game filled with every adventurer’s favorite things: obstacles, traps, monsters, and of course, treasure! And finally, there’s the aptly named Meltdown , where you must defeat as many zombies as possible as the room around you literally melts.
All these games will score you based on time, and as mentioned before, reward you with in-game currency. But what can you do with all those coins you’ll earn?! Well...
This is where you put all that in-game currency to good use. In the store, you can buy a variety of hats (including wacky ones as well as Ender Cup team color hats), toys and gadgets, and snacks with some funky effects!
The official MC Championship Cape
Who doesn’t love a mystery? For the first seven days, you’ll receive a cryptic challenge in the form of an image, which you must decipher to figure out how to complete. You’ll also have the entire second week to figure out the seven clues and complete the hidden challenges for even more rewards.
To unlock the MC Championship Cape, you must complete a total of 15 challenges, one of which is solving the mystery above! I wonder why they chose that number... In any case, make sure you join the party and leave no block unturned!
On July 27 at 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT , it’s time to kick back and watch other Minecrafters compete! The coveted Ender cup is up for grabs, and 40 Minecraft streamers are coming together to battle for it in the most thrilling challenges MCC has to offer, themed after 15 years of Minecraft!
In this nail-biting competition, ten teams consisting of four Minecrafters each will play through eight unique games designed to test a variety of skills. Competitors must prove their parkour, PvP, puzzling, and building skills as well as their knowledge of Minecraft. And of course, teamwork plays a key role throughout the competition. Once all eight mini-games are completed, the top two scoring teams proceed to the final duel, where one team will prove to the Ender Dragon that they are worthy of the cup!
MCC will be streamed by each participant on their own channels, so you can choose between 40 different perspectives! Check out the MCC web app on the day of the event for the full list of available streams as well as the live score. You can also watch on our Twitch and YouTube channels. The creators and teams taking part will be revealed on July 18 and 19, so keep an eye out for that on @mcchampionship_ ! You can also head to endercup.live for more information on both events.
Who will earn the coveted Ender Cup? And will you dare take on the challenges yourself in the MCC Party? Only a few days to go until the festivities begin, so make sure you're ready for all this action!
*Requires the latest version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (sold separately); event runs from July 22, 2024 at 10am PST to August 4, 2024 at 3pm PST.

The quarterfinals will begin on Aug. 3, the semifinals will be on Aug. 6, the Bronze Medal Game on Aug. 9 and the Gold Medal Game on Aug. 10.
Thursday’s USA-Zambia soccer match will broadcast live on USA Network and Telemundo at 3 p.m. Eastern (9 p.m. Central European Summer Time). Fans who have parted ways with their local cable provider can catch this game for free by utilizing streaming alternatives including FuboTV and DirecTV Stream , which both offer a free trial.

The USWNT is a very young squad, but they’re led by familiar names like Rose Lavelle and Crystal Dunn. They’re captained by Lindsey Horan.
It will also be Emma Hayes’ first major tournament as head coach.
The USWNT has won won four gold medals, one silver and one bronze in their past seven Olympic Games, and are looking to add to that total in France in 2024 at the Paris Olympics. With a powerful midfield group of Lavelle and Horan, there’s reason for optimism with this group.
The matchup vs. Zambia should be a good start for Team USA headed into further group stage games.
