In this photo provided by Nickey Worlock, a man climbs the Eiffel Tower , during the 2024 Summer Olympics , Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024, in Paris France.
The shirtless man was seen scaling the 330-meter tall tower in the afternoon. It's unclear where he began his ascent, but he was spotted just above the Olympic rings adorning the second section of the monument, just above the first viewing deck. The Eiffel Tower was a centerpiece of the opening ceremony, with Celine Dion serenading the city from one of its viewing areas. The Tower is not expected to be part of the closing ceremony, which was set to begin at Stade de France in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis at 9 p.m.
