Here is the official Paris 2024 Olympics "Food Vision" booklet (pdf) .. https://medias.paris2024.org/upload...N-Eng-BDEF2.pdf
Most of these meat-free options (not necessarily 100% plant based) will be offered to the public outside of the Athletes' Village. Mostly at surrounding cafés, restaurants and kiosks serving non-athlete attendees .. spectators, media, volunteers etc. And maybe athletes who want to celebrate post-competition.
Athletes' nutrition will not be compromised. They will be offered vegetarian meals alongside meat-based meals, but those will be completely optional. Each country's Olympic team has at least one nutritionist on staff, who will ensure their athletes get exactly what they want and need for training, recovery and competition.

THE ATHLETES’ VILLAGE, THE LARGEST RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD
The Village is where the athletes will spend much of their time and offers a unique experience. It is where they will eat, sleep, take care of themselves, prepare for competitions, recover and celebrate. In collaboration with Sodexo Live!, the Village’s catering services must, above all, meet the needs of athletes from 208 countries and regions 24/7, all while satisfying the nutritional requirements specific to each sport and aligning with diverse cultural practices. But the Village must also enable everyone, when not competing or training, to discover French cuisine, which many of them will not have an opportunity to try outside of the competition venues. At the other Villages, a similar offer will be available to ensure all the athletes access an equivalent level of service.

ATHLETES AND THEIR TEAMS
After years of preparation, 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes will come to the Games, each representing one of 208 countries or regions, with the aim of winning medals and experiencing the exceptional and unique tmosphere of the Athletes’ Village. The athletes will closely study their food intake during their stay, which may last anywhere between 5 and 30 days, eating at least three meals a day. They will be looking to satisfy their specific dietary needs and follow the culinary customs of their countries and cultures while paying attention to nutrition and allergens. We will therefore focus on implementing a reliable, smooth and diverse offering that enables them to perform in the best possible conditions.

It seems much of the hype about Paris 2024 going vegan is just that .. hype, not fact
