Tonight, International Towers will turn green and gold in support of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic Teams as they compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
This comes ahead of what has been dubbed ‘Green & Gold Day’ by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) on Friday, 2 August. Everyone is encouraged to wear our nation’s colours on this day to show their support for our sporting stars and their inspirational efforts in Paris.
This statewide NSW Government initiative is backing our athletes all the way. Major landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House shells, will be illuminated green and gold. The NSW Government will transform its website and social media profiles during both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Service NSW screens across the state will also bear messages of encouragement for our athletes.
Throughout both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, fans will be able to gather at Sydney’s Darling Harbour free Live Site to cheer on our athletes. Giant screens will broadcast live and replayed coverage from 12 pm to 11 pm daily. The Live Site is part of Olympics & Paralympics LIVE, an initiative by the AOC and Paralympics Australia, aimed at fostering celebrations at live sites and watch parties around the nation.
Premier of New South Wales Chris Minns said:
“We’re getting behind our athletes as they take on the world and bring us together as a state and a nation.
“NSW is a proud Olympic and Paralympic state, and there’s no better way to show support for our inspirational athletes in Paris than by lighting up our most iconic landmark, the Sydney Opera House, in green and gold.”
