2024 Paris Olympics live updates: Opening Ceremony Set To Formally Start The Games; Rail Network Is Sabotaged by NBC News
The first events of the 2024 Olympics began Wednesday, but there are no sports today. That’s because the opening ceremony starts at 1:30 p.m. ET.
For the first time, the opening ceremony will not take place in a stadium. Instead, athletes will arrive via boat and cruise down the Seine, passing by historic Paris landmarks, including the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral and the Louvre. Meanwhile, singers Lady Gaga and Céline Dion are rumored to be among the performers.
Organizers say that arson attacks that paralyzed large parts of France’s high-speed rail network won’t have a big impact on today’s opening ceremony.
