Paris 2024: two hundred police officers and gendarmes will ensure security around the Olympic flame. Throughout its journey, the torch will be under good escort, in order to ward off any incident from the intoxicated person to the attack by two men from the audience.
Less than a minute passed between their intervention and their extraction. The idea is to have an adapted, graduated intervention. We want to stay with something festive and popular, says Commissioner Charles Barion, responsible for the torch relay system.
