Vintage photos show how the 1924 Paris Olympics compare to this year's games, from the Olympic Village to the venues

The Olympics were held in Paris and the suburb of Colombes, France, between May 4 and July 27, 1924.

The 2024 Paris Olympics will be held from July 26 to August 11, and most of the events will take place in the heart of the French capital.

Female fencing was introduced at the 1924 Olympics.

It also marked the last time — for more than 60 years — that tennis was included in the Olympic lineup, according to the Olympics. It would eventually return for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

At this year's Olympics, 32 sports will be represented, including the brand-new sport of breaking, and there will be 329 medal events.

According to the Olympics, 625,000 people watched the events live in Paris, but many more were also able to tune in at home for the very first time.

According to Guinness World Records, the 1924 Olympics became the first to air live radio broadcasts of Olympic events, a huge technological advance for the games.

However, according to Guinness World Records, international radio broadcasting was still being developed, so the broadcasts were mostly heard by French audiences.

The International Olympic Committee reported that the past two Summer Olympic Games, held in Rio and Tokyo, each brought in over 3 billion viewers worldwide, according to EMarketer.

Millions of people are expected to flock to France to view the events in person, including 20,000 accredited journalists and 45,000 volunteers, according to the Olympics.

The stadium hosted many of the Olympics' main events, including gymnastics and the opening and closing ceremonies.

According to the Olympics, the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium, as it is now known, will be used for field-hockey events at this year's games.

The stadium still exists, though it won't be featured in the official competition.

Now known as the Georges-Vallerey swimming pool, the original stadium will be used this year as a training facility for athletes entered in swimming, marathon swimming, and triathlon events, according to the Olympics.

One of the most notable additions to this year's Olympics is the use of the Seine River as a site for official Olympic events, including the opening ceremony, the triathlon, and open-water swimming.

Following a rigorous cleaning process, the Seine will be used for the open-swimming event, marking a historic moment.

Bloomberg reported that no other city has held Olympic swimming events in an "urban river" since 1896, and swimming in the Seine has been banned since 1923.

The Olympics reported that the first Olympic Village, known as the Village Olympique, was constructed near the Yves-du-Manoir stadium in Colombes, a suburb northwest of Paris.

According to the Olympics, the 1924 Olympic Village consisted of temporary wooden cabins with three beds. Since the buildings were temporary, they could easily be deconstructed after the games were over.

The 2024 Olympic Village was built with sustainability in mind and used wood and recycled materials in its construction — though the facilities look remarkably more modern than the wooden cabins built 100 years ago.

To construct the Olympic Village, the city also used methods with a lower carbon footprint than other building projects across the country, according to the Olympics.

According to the Olympics, athletes staying in the temporary housing complex had access to a currency exchange bureau, a dry cleaner, a hair salon, a newsagent, a restaurant, and a post office.

According to the Olympics, the village, which the organization says offers "state-of-the-art" living quarters, will be converted into 2,800 apartments, providing housing for about 6,000 people.

Of those, a quarter will be part of a local social-housing initiative for lower-income residents after the games wrap up.

Taking place soon after World War I, the 1924 Summer Olympics were marketed as an opportunity for the world to come together and celebrate peace — though German athletes were not allowed to take part in the 1920 or 1924 Olympics, according to History.

According to Britannica, more than 100 women competed in the 1924 Olympics. However, there were not women's competitions across all sports.

For example, at the 1924 Olympics, gymnastics events were limited to men only, according to the Olympics, a stark difference compared to the female-driven gymnastics programs of modern Olympic Games.

The Olympics reported that 44 countries competed in the 1924 Games. Many countries also made their Olympic debut, including Ecuador, Ireland, and the Philippines.

This year, more than 200 countries will take part in the Olympics, in addition to the Refugee Olympic Team.
