French Ivorian former football player Didier Drogba holds the Olympic Torch as part of the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays at the Stade Velodrome, ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in Marseille, southeastern France, on May 9, 2024. The transfer of the flame onshore from a 19th-century tall ship will mark the start of a 12,000-kilometre (7,500-mile) torch relay across mainland France and the country's far-flung overseas territories.
