Overview of the 2024 Paris Olympics
The 33rd Summer Olympics will commence on July 26, 2024, in Paris, France. Paris joins London in hosting the Summer Olympics for the third time, marking a century since the 1924 Paris Olympics. This edition of the Olympics is notable for its gender balance, with an equal number of male and female athletes. The official slogan, "Games Wide Open," emphasizes inclusivity and openness, and the mascot, "Phryges," is inspired by the iconic Phrygian cap.
PARDUS's Olympic Journey
PARDUS's journey with the Olympics began at the 2016 Rio Games. This was a significant milestone as it marked the first time a Chinese domestic brand accompanied the national team, breaking a century-long dominance of foreign brands in cycling events. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, PARDUS continued to support the national team, supplying competitive and training equipment for road cycling, track cycling, and triathlon. Chinese cyclist Liu Jiali achieved the best result in the women's omnium, setting a new benchmark for the team.
Olympic Quality for All
Founded in 2010, PARDUS focuses on developing high-performance bicycles in collaboration with professional athletes and coaches. Initially, PARDUS's products were exclusively for competitive teams and athletes. However, after rigorous testing in major events like the Asian Games, National Games, Olympics, and World Championships, PARDUS expanded its product line to the consumer market.
PARDUS is dedicated to the research, production, and promotion of competitive bicycles and cycling culture. Collaborating with the China Cycling Association and the China Triathlon Association, PARDUS established the Competitive Equipment Research Center to enhance its research capabilities and produce top-tier equipment for athletes.
As the 2024 Paris Olympics approach, we extend our best wishes to all the athletes and look forward to witnessing their remarkable performances!
