The Paris 2024 Olympic Games kicked off with a spectacular opening ceremony on the Seine. Over 10,000 athletes in 100 boats created a six-kilometer spectacle. The event featured 3,000 artists and honored landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral. The ceremony also emphasized Olympic values and celebrated inclusivity and diversity with performances by Lady Gaga and Céline Dion. In Paris, events will take place at iconic locations such as the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles, with surfing in Tahiti. Memorable moments included Katie Ledecky's record-breaking swim and Simone Biles' impressive gymnastics. Future stars such as Sha'Carri Richardson are aiming for glory, while legends such as Armand Duplantis and Tom Daley are striving for final triumphs.
