The 2024 Summer Olympics are over after just under three weeks. A total of over 300 competitions took place, in which the 206 participating countries competed for medals.

Bet3000 is currently making headlines: With the removal of the sports betting provider from the whitelist, there was initially speculation as to how this could have happened.
