Overview
The Moments That Defined the Paris Games
Aurora was commissioned by the Olympic Channel to create a new original series Wait For It: Paris 2024. One year on from the Paris Olympic and Paralympics, the eight-part series revisits the most dramatic and emotional moments from the Games, revealing the turning points, split-second decisions, and raw emotion that defined them.
Hosted by Olympic and Paralympic couple Tara and Hunter Davis-Woodhall, the series blends iconic sporting moments with personal storytelling, using Olympic archive footage, social content, and host segments to bring the Games to life in a fresh way.
Each episode takes viewers through the intense moments leading up to the Olympians’ crowning moments, celebrating sporting excellence by unpacking the split-second decisions, emotions, and narratives that inspired the world during Paris 2024.
Filmed with the Davis-Woodhalls, structured around powerful archive moments, Wait For It profiles some of the biggest names in global sport — including Novak Djokovic, Simone Biles, Ilona Maher, Léon Marchand, and Frédéric Villeroux. Each episode focuses on the stories behind one pivotal defining moment from the Games.
From Simone Biles’ unprecedented vault to Léon Marchand’s Olympic record, Novak Djokovic’s gutsy gold to Horigome Yuto’s triumphant comeback, Wait for It: Paris 2024 takes viewers beyond the headlines and into the heart of what makes an Olympic moment unforgettable.
We wanted to take the most iconic moments from the Paris Olympic Games — and reveal the untold stories behind them. It’s not just a recap; it’s about emotion, perspective, and what those moments meant to the people living them. We combined powerful storytelling with bold visuals, high-impact motion graphics and engaging hosts to deliver a distinctive and compelling series for the Olympic Channel
The eight-part series is available to watch in full for free on the Olympic Channel via Olympics.com and the official Olympic apps for mobile and connected TV devices. https://www.olympics.com/en/original-series/wait-for-it-paris-2024/
