==Legacy== The 1924 Summer Olympics was the second edition of the Summer Olympics to be held in Paris. 100 years later, the city has hosted the games once again with the [[2024 Summer Olympics]], marking its third time, becoming the second city ever to host the [[Summer Olympic Games|Summer Olympics]] three times (after [[London]], which hosted the [[1908 Summer Olympics|1908]], [[1948 Summer Olympics|1948]], and [[2012 Summer Olympics|2012]] Games). Paris 2024 also marks the [[centenary]] of [[1924 Winter Olympics|Chamonix 1924]], which in turn marks the [[1924 Winter Olympics|centenary]] of the [[Winter Olympic Games|Winter Olympics]]; making Paris 2024 the sixth Olympic Games hosted by France (three Summer Olympics and three [[Winter Olympic Games|Winter Olympics]]), and the first French Olympics since the [[1992 Winter Olympics|1992 Winter Games]] in [[Albertville]]. Notable debuts of participating countries for the Paris 1924 Olympics include [[Ireland at the Olympics|Ireland]], [[Latvia at the Olympics|Latvia]], [[Lithuania at the Olympics|Lithuania]], [[Philippines at the Olympics|Philippines]], [[Poland at the Olympics|Poland]], [[Romania at the Olympics|Romania]], and [[Uruguay at the Olympics|Uruguay]]; all of which celebrated their centenary participation at the 2024 Summer Olympics back in Paris.
