The Olympic rings will be displayed on the Eiffel Tower, organisers have said in a statement, as the French capital prepares to mark 100 days until the start of the Paris Games.

A 29m-long and 15m-high structure of five Olympic rings, made entirely of recycled French steel, will be displayed on the south side of the 135-year-old historic landmark in central Paris, overlooking the Seine River.
