Paris Olympics organizers have unveiled lighted Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower.

The colored rings made of recycled French steel, 9 meters in diameter, are illuminated with 100,000 LED bulbs.

The Rings are mounted between first and second floors of the tower.

The Eiffel Tower is playing a big part in the Paris Olympics as iron from the tower is also embedded in the Olympic medals.

Paris 2024 tweeted, "The Olympic rings are now live in Paris, displayed on our most iconic monument: the Eiffel Tower. Created by ArcelorMittal and coordinated with the Eiffel Tower, this giant installation will illuminate the City of Lights from now until the end of the Games."
