The Olympic rings will remain on the Eiffel Tower until the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028, and “maybe” after that, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Friday, September 6. “My opinion is that until until 2028, that is to say until the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, we will leave the rings on the Eiffel Tower and the Agitos (Paralympic symbol, Editor’s Note ) on the Champs-Elysées,” announced. Anne Hidalgo once entered the press conference. “And if we cannot do without these important symbols which will remind us that the Games are not just a bracket, maybe after 2028 they will be. Maybe not, we’ll see,” added the elected official, stressing that the decision rests with the City of Paris, the owner of the monument. The IOC is investigating the possibility of replacing the current rings with new rings, as large but lighter, so as not to damage the system. The five rings representing the five continents have been enshrined since May on the symbolic monument of the French capital, on the banks of the Seine.
