Top 10 Athletes to watch in Paris 2024 Olympic Games

The Olympic Games have just finished, being held in Tokyo, Japan this time.

The 2020 Olympics should have taken place last year, however, due to the coronavirus pandemic the games were delayed to take place in 2021.

And now, until the next Summer Olympics we have to wait for just three years.

The 2024 games will take place in Paris, as the French capital is getting ready to welcome the best athletes in the world to compete for the desirable medals.

So, as we have quite a bit of time to wait, let's take a look at the Tokyo 2020 athletes, who could shine in Paris 2024.

Biles didn't have the best Olympics this summer having won Silver and Bronze and also withdrew from four finals.

However, we all have seen what the 25-year-old can do and surely in Paris 2024, she is expected to shine at her best.

Nishiya made history this summer becoming one of the youngest-ever Olympic Gold medalists.

The 15-year-old skateboarder took home the Gold in the women's street competition — which debuted in Tokyo for the very first time.

Nishiya is still very young and the next Olympic Games will definitely provide her with another round of fame as she's expected to win medals then as well.
