Olympians at the Paris Games are taking care with their hair. French curl braids have been a popular choice, and there's a wide array of dyes, plaits and long locks.
After honing his style for the walk-in at Stade de France ahead of the 100-meter final — weaving little white pearls into his hair for the track and field's marquee event — Noah Lyles won the gold medal by a whisker, or a hair's breadth.
Jamaica's sprinting star Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce set the bar high at past meets with her long, bright green and gold hair, and national colors have again been a popular theme for hair tones at the 2024 Olympics. Hurdler Denisha Cartwright of Bahamas went for more of an individual statement, going for electric pink to run on the purple track in Paris.
This gallery takes a look at how athletes wide and far are expressing themselves through fun and creative hairstyles.
