Paris 1924: The Games gain prestige on Parisian return

Marking the last Olympic Games of Baron Pierre de Coubertin’s presidency of the International Olympic Committee, Paris 1924 was a standalone event, in contrast to the French capital’s first Games in 1900, which served as a five-and-a-half-month sideshow to the Paris Exposition.
