After 16 days of thrilling competition at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, Samsung hosted its Open to All Party on August 8 for Team Samsung Galaxy athletes, #TeamGalaxy influencers and others to celebrate the collective journey to the Olympic Games in line with the belief that “Open always wins.”
Samsung organized this event — high above the City of Light and steps away from the Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung | Champs-Élysées 125 — to empower athletes, influencers and guests to create lifelong memories with Galaxy. This occasion was the culmination of the #TeamGalaxy Connect program which brought together #TeamGalaxy members from around the world to interact with each other and develop content at Olympic Games Paris 2024 with Galaxy. With surprise musical performances by #TeamGalaxy’s Harry Hudson and Jaden Smith, the celebration gave attendees a special chance to experience, share and capture the magic of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
Samsung Newsroom compiled the best moments from the Open to All Party below — reflecting on the road traveled to Paris 2024 and looking to what lies ahead.
Among the attendees were Team Samsung Galaxy athletes Alejandra Orozco Loza (Diving, Mexico) and Sarah Bee (Breaking, France); #TeamGalaxy influencers including Greysia Polii, a former badminton player and gold medalist; CrosOne from Pro Breaking Tour (PBT), who partnered with Samsung on the Breaking episode of the “Breaking Boundaries” docu-series.
Alejandra Orozco Loza, who just competed in her last Olympic Game and recently announced her retirement from professional diving, found the event to be particularly meaningful. “I’m so happy I got a chance to represent Mexico and Latin America as part of Team Samsung Galaxy,” she said. “I’m so grateful to everyone who supported me throughout my career.”
For #TeamGalaxy influencers, the celebration was an important stepping stone in fostering solidarity.
“Nothing builds a sense of community more than these events, because we can all get to know each other while coming from different backgrounds,” said health and fitness influencer Mayane Sarwat (@maya_sarwat, Egypt).
“We need these types of events to connect with each other, so we can build international relationships, exchange ideas and learn from one another,” said photography influencer Max Muench (@muenchmax, Germany). “The creativity in all of us … it gives us a sense of unity, of creating together as a team.”
For CrosOne, this event was a chance to celebrate Breaking’s Olympic Games debut. “I’ve never been to the Olympic Games,” he said. “This Olympics — this is such a cool experience. Breaking will be crazy. I just know it will be super emotional seeing the b-boys and b-girls on stage. We’ve worked so hard to get the sport to this platform. I can’t wait to soak it all in and cry my eyes out.”
