The International Olympic Committee is confident that Paris will be ready to host the 2024 Summer Games, the IOC's Coordination Commission said on Wednesday.

"We are leaving Paris with a very, very high level of confidence that Paris will be ready to host the Olympic Games," the president of the Commission, Pierre-OlivierBeckers-Vieujant, told a press conference.

"Paris will be a turning point in the history of the modern Games. There will be a before and an after the Paris Games.

"There are no delays in the preparation of the Games, Paris is where it should be 415 days before the Games. The organising committee is already working as an operational entity," he added.

The Paris 2024 Olympics will be held from 26 July to 11 August.
