Paris 2024 Olympics: Day 6

Keep the Flame Alive

The heat is still on here in Paris–and it’s brutal. We’re sticking to indoor sports for the time being, but that doesn’t mean we can avoid the oppressive heat while we wander around venues. Alison went on the hunt for a pharmacie to find a sore throat remedy and lingered in the coolness of the badminton venue. Meanwhile, Jill scored some Paris Media Center condoms and had a real lunch before discovering the toilet situation at Arena Sud and fearing for her life at the volleyball venue. Plus, it’s the magical hour of vacuuming somewhere!
