The biggest sporting event of the year kicks off this month.

The 2024 Paris Olympics are only a few weeks away, and nearly 200 Kiwi athletes will be heading to the City of Love for their shot at Olympic glory.

Today on The Front Page, New York Times international correspondent Catherine Porter joins from Paris to discuss how the city is preparing for the event in the midst of an election, security concerns – and a costly river cleanup.

And then Newstalk ZB sports host Jason Pine digs into the Kiwi athletes to watch out for, and our own controversy around selection.
