History will be made in Paris on Friday when more than 10,000 of the world’s best athletes gather for a never-before-seen opening ceremony that will highlight the most iconic Parisian landmarks.
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris marks a return to normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the Games in Tokyo to be delayed until 2021. Friday’s celebrations will set the tone as the parade of athletes makes its way down the Seine River by boat.
It is the first time the opening ceremony will take place outside a stadium.
