The Paris Games have been successful in all aspects, said the Olympics’ chief organizer Tony Estanguet, adding the organizing committee had sold 95% of all the tickets prepared for the events.

For the first time in the history of these events, their opening ceremony was not held in a stadium, said Estanguet at a press conference in Saint-Denis, Paris, on Thursday.
