PARIS Uomo Nike Air Max 97 UL'17 HAL Nere Scontate , Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- Continuous rain on Wednesday didn't spoil Paris' celebration for being the 2024 Olympic Games host city after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach announced the double award of 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games to Paris and Los Angeles respectively in Lima, capital of Peru.
Hundreds of Paris citizens gathered at the Trocadero to celebrate the Olympic Games' comeback to the French capital after a century, as their last time to host the quadrennial world's sporting event was in 1924.
The rain, starting from Wednesday noon, had no sign of slowing down just into the celebration activity. However, that didn't seem as a challenge for joyous crowds on site Uomo Nike Air Max 97 CR7 Rosse Scontate , holding French national flags in their hands.
When Bach announced Paris and Los Angeles as the host city of 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games respectively, people thousands of miles away burst into jubilant cheering.
"It's a special day," said Sebastian, an engineer living in Paris. The sporting shorts made him quite "eye-catching", as the sports fan just finished his running around the site.
"It's clever," he commented on the IOC's double award decision.
"It's a competition between two countries. The decision will not make one side sad at last Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Safety Arancione Scontate ," Sebastian said, adding that he hopes to watch athletics matches at the 2024 Games.
A statue of the Olympic Rings was erected at the Trocadero, just in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower. The Rings will remain in place until September 17, before they travel around the city for the people of Paris to enjoy.
"It's a huge honor to present to the world that Paris is the best city to host the 2024 Games. We are ready to work from now until 2024," said Ludovic Besson, a French decathlon athlete.
"For me as an athlete Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Plus Blu Bianche Scontate , the 2024 Games in Paris will be an important target during my career," he added.
"Paris deserves to be awarded as the host for the 2024 Games because it's sporting city," Bezza Mazouzi, a Paris citizen living in the 19th arrondissement, pointed out.
The Paris bid committee delegation will fly back on Friday morning with several more celebration activities on the agenda.

JERUSALEM, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Tens of thousands of Israelis marched Wednesday through East Jerusalem's predominantly Palestinian Old City to mark 50 years of Israel's annexation of it.
The marchers, mainly ultranationalist religious Jewish youths, waved Israeli flags and blew horns as they passed through the Old City's Muslim Quarter en route to the Western Wall, above which is the city's most sensitive site, a hilltop compound where the al-Aqsa Mosque Uomo Vapormax x Nike Air Max 97 Nere Rosse Scontate , the third holiest site to Muslims, resides.
The holy site is known to Muslims as the "Noble Sanctuary," and to Jews as the "Temple Mount."
Clashes then erupted between Palestinians and Israeli human rights activists near the Old City's Damascus Gate. The Palestinians protested against the march, during which far-right activists usually walk through Muslim Quarter, shouting racist slogans and sabotaging Palestinian property.
Local media reported that the Palestinian protestors were forcefully dispersed by the police.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said major roads were temporarily closed, and thousands of police officers were deployed across the route of the march to maintain order.
The parade is the main event of Jerusalem Day Uomo Nike Air Max 97 UL '17 PRM Marrone Nere Scontate , an Israeli annual holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem.
Israel seized East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East War, along with the rest of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It later annexed East Jerusalem and declared it as part of its "eternal and indivisible capital," a move that has never been recognized by the international community.
Palestinians, who make up more than one third of the city's overall population, however, consider East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
A police statement said three guards from Waqf Uomo Nike Air Max 97 KPU TPU Nere Italia , a Jordan-based Islamic organization in charge of administrating the holy site, were arrested, as they allegedly attempted to attack Jewish visitors to the site, according to the police.
Samri said 15 Israeli teenagers were also detained after they prayed at the al-Aqsa compound, defying a restriction which allows Jews to visit the site but forbids them to pray there.
The parade came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump left Israel finishing a two-day visit to the country and the occupied West Bank, during which he visited the Western Wall.
In an address to the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) Uomo Nike Air Max 97 KPU TPU Nere Rosse Scontate , Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Trump's visit to the Western Wall has "destroyed UNESCO's propaganda and lies," referring to the two resolutions by the UN cultural agency which criticized Israel for its control over Jerusalem without mentioning Jewish ties to the holy city.
