There are 32 different sports represented in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.

However, that doesnโ€™t necessarily mean there are only 32 events. Many sports include multiple variations, not to mention separate menโ€™s and womenโ€™s competitions.

Take basketball, for example. Basketball is just one sport, but the Olympic games currently includes both 3×3 basketball and traditional 5×5 basketball, with each separated into both menโ€™s and womenโ€™s competitions.

Other sports, like Aquatics, comprise dozens of events.ย 

Hereโ€™s the full list below. And remember โ€“ should you want to bet any of these events, the BetMGM online sportsbook has dozens of online sports betting markets for the 2024 Olympics.ย
