On Saturday, July 27, Alberto Vega competed in the men's 400-meter freestyle swimming race at Paris' La Défense Arena. The 19-year-old swimmer reached a time of 4:03.14. Not enough to advance to the second round he was eliminated. This was his Olympic debut.

Costa Rican athletes have won four medals in their country's history. Silvia Poll won a silver medal in the women's 200-meter freestyle at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Claudia Poll, Silvia's sister, earned three medals in women's freestyle swimming: one gold in Atlanta in 1996 and two bronzes in Sydney in 2000.

A total of 206 national teams are participating in the Olympics. However, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Olympic Committees of Russia and Belarus have been suspended for violating the Olympic Truce. Athletes from these countries will compete as "Individual Neutral Athletes" (INA), without national affiliation, provided they do not "actively" support the war against Ukraine.

The 2024 Games are projected to cost over $9 billion.
