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 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.

This content is very timely with the Paralympics opening ceremony recently and the Games taking place until 8 September.

In part one viewers can hear directly from Mathieu Lehanneur and ArcelorMittal’s Project Manager for the Torches, Franck Wasilewski about how their work was a tribute to the game and its participants.

In video two, viewers learn more about the manufacturing of the torches, and in video three, viewers learn about the iconic Agitos, the symbol of the Paralympics, and how these were placed upon the Arc de Triomphe.
