Paris 2024 have claimed an International Olympic Committee (IOC) candidate city workshop has enabled them to fine-tune their plans before the submission of part three of their candidature file.

Bid chief executive Etienne Thobois led the Paris 2024 delegation to the workshop, which took place in Lausanne.

The delegation spent a full day with the IOC Candidate City team, who provided advice on the key aspects required for the third submission, which will focus on "Games Delivery, Experience and Venue Legacy".

It is due to be handed in to the IOC on February 3. 

"We were able to get some feedback about the main features of our Games plan which gave us great confidence about the many assets and very robust character of our project," said Thobois.

"We feel we are firmly on track ahead of the delivery of the Candidature File part three in February next year.

"We are even more confident that our commitment to deliver Games of passion and purpose is perfectly aligned with the IOC’s vision and the Olympic Agenda 2020.

"Our fully guaranteed Games plan in the heart of a modern global city will ensure an outstanding experience for all, starting with the athletes and the fans.

"This passionate celebration of sport at the heart of the City of Light will also deliver real and lasting legacy, both tangible and intangible."

Paris 2024 claim the technical workshop provided them with a good opportunity to share some of their plans and ideas with the IOC.

As a result, their delegation stated they had gained "great feedback" from IOC experts, who offered insight on Games services and operations.

This included guidance on boosting the athlete experience, transport, accommodation, security, venue legacy and sustainability.

"Coming a few weeks before the submission of the third and final bid book, this workshop will help us to fine tune the Paris 2024 technical project," said Anthony Piqueras, Paris 2024 technical director.

"The very positive comments expressed on our very compact Games plans, as well as the great feedback received after the International Federations’ visits in Paris, show how Paris 2024 is ready to deliver a second to none experience for all stakeholders.

"This workshop was a great opportunity to underline our strengths."

Delegations from the three bid cities for the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics - Budapest, Los Angeles and Paris - are due travel to Tokyo to participate in the Rio 2016 debrief this week.

The debrief is seen as an opportunity for the candidates to learn lessons from Rio 2016 and IOC experts.

A decision on which city will host the Games in 2024 is due to be made on September 13 at the IOC Session in Lima.
