Go behind the scenes with ArcelorMittal

Some of 2024’s most incredible design marvels have been beautifully documented in a three-part series by creative company Agile Films.

The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Torches and Spectaculars were expertly and sustainably crafted by ArcelorMittal. The iconic Torch was designed in collaboration with French Designer Mathieu Lehanneur. This unique series gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration behind the Paris 2024 Torch and the engineering marvels of the Spectaculars.

For the first time in Olympic and Paralympic history the torches are exactly the same; in the past they have always been different. Lehanneur wanted to push ‘equality to the limit’ with the design.

In part one viewers can hear directly from Mathieu Lehanneur and ArcelorMittal’s Project Manager for the Torches, and Tony Estanguet, president of Paris 2024 about ArcelorMittal’s involvement with Paris 2024 and it has supported the Games.

In video two, viewers learn more about the manufacturing of the torches, hearing from Franck Wasilewski about how the work was a tribute to the game and its participants.

In video three, viewers hear from Pierre Engel, ArcelorMittal’s Project Director for the Spectaculars about the manufacture and installation of the Agitos, the symbol of the Paralympics, and the Olympic Rings, and how these were placed upon the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower respectively.
