Bonjure Paris : Highlights from the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

Published

on

In an ambitious twist on an opening ceremony, thousands of athletes sailed along the Seine past lively performers on bridges, banks, and roofs to welcome in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in spectacular fashion.

The “greatest show on Earth” began with the first-ever substitution of a canal for a stadium. Over the course of nearly four hours, sprinter Marie-Jose Perec and French judo champion Teddy Riner lit a cauldron resembling a hot air balloon that climbed high into the Paris sky.

The Tricolore was hoisted over Austerlitz Bridge by blue, white, and red fireworks, and 6,800 athletes representing 205 delegations passed by several of the most well-known sites in the French city aboard 85 boats and barges.

During the ceremony, there were unexpected performances by US singer-songwriter Lady Gaga in a cabaret piece and Canadian superstar Celine Dion making an emotional comeback.

Athletes were compelled to include rain ponchos and umbrellas in their planned attire due to the intense rain, but this did not take away from the exciting narrative of around 2,000 musicians, dancers, and other artists about French history, art, and sport.

The highest number of athletes were on board the final two boats to parade, which carried multiple delegations together: the US, which will host Los Angeles in 2028, and France.

Great Britain’s flagbearers at the Summer Games in Paris, which are being held for the third time in its history, were rower Helen Glover and diver Tom Daley.

Following the spectacular metallic steed’s ride across the Seine, a lady clad in silver armor mounted an actual horse and hoisted the official Olympic flag. She is a noncommissioned officer in the Gendarmerie named Floriane Issert. She was to serve as “the embodiment of Sequana, the goddess of the Seine River, and the Olympic spirit.”
