The stars are out: 10 international athletes to follow

Time is limited and you can’t catch all the global sporting icons over the next three weeks. With that in mind, here are 10 international stars to follow at the Paris games.

Clockwise from main: Sha’Carri Richardson, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Antoine Dupont, LeBron James, and Simone Biles — some of the biggest names to keep an eye on.

At times the Olympics can feel overwhelming. With 32 sports, over 10,000 athletes and 329 events across 19 days, Paris 2024 is about to intrude on your senses and consume your attention.

But amid the avalanche of live action, it’s easy to get confused. Staying tuned to RTÉ in the coming weeks will ensure you don’t miss a beat when it comes to Irish interest, but of course this is 2024 — the era of live streaming, unlimited choice — so other options are also available.
