Sport is often a great source of inspiration and a significant complement to the working world. It brings people together and conveys values and emotions. The upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, the most-watched event in the world with 4 billion viewers, will allow us to follow the achievements of the 10,500 athletes from 206 participating countries. Among them is Luxembourg, represented by 13 athletes. Who are they? What sports do they compete in? The answers can be found here.
