French President Emmanuel Macron has announced the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The Olympic torch is a hot air balloon hovering over the Paris sky, the final surprise of the Paris 2024 Olympics ceremony. Former sprint champion Marie-Joe Perec and judoka Teddy Riner were the last torchbearers to light the Paris 2024 Olympic flame. The Olympic torch, mounted on a hot air balloon in the French capital, soared over the Paris sky at night under heavy rain.

White, red and blue fireworks lit up the Austerlitz Bridge, where the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics began. Immediately, the parade of the Olympic teams began, with the Greek boat traditionally opening, followed by the refugee team in white and welcomed with applause.

The men’s water polo players told him, “If you lose a gold, you will find another,” adding that they would testify with his wife if necessary.

The choice to display the delegations of athletes on the “wing covers” partially hides the standard-bearers, but the Blues overcome the inconvenience by standing taller than a large group of Blue athletes, the President of the Republic. Sergio MattarellaShe, who was present in the Trocadero stands for the ceremony, stood up to greet the Italian boat. The head of state attended the ceremony despite the continuous rain, which forced him to wear a coat. Then he left.

The Israeli delegation was booed by some spectators between the Austerlitz Bridge and the Pont de Soleil, during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on the Seine River. The boos quickly drowned out the cheers of the Italian delegation, who chanted “Italy! Italy!” On board the boat, in addition to Italy and Israel, there were also Iceland and Jamaica.
A collective applause from the entire crowd, who braved the rain and were still on the banks of the Seine, for the Palestinian delegation, on the bow of their boat, with wet flags but with great enthusiasm. There are eight athletes who will compete in 6 different disciplines.

There’s also Bebe Vio at the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, the only Italian to walk the runway – apart from the blues at the fashion show. The Paralympic champion parades in a sparkling gown on the catwalk in the “Festivitè” section. The French organizers desperately wanted Bebe Vio to testify to inclusivity.
American superstar Lady Gaga appeared to applause at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, but she did not sing Edith Piaf’s “La vie en rose”, but rather a French music hall hit, “Mon Truc en Plumes”, by Zizi Jeanmaire.

A roar greets the appearance of the French athletes’ boat, a huge one, with several athletes led by the standard-bearers Florent Manaudou, a swimmer, and Melina Robert-Michon, a discus thrower. Among the shouts of the crowd, the Eiffel Tower also lights up, and the thousands of lighthouses of Paris shine to the tune of Michel Polnareff’s “Lettre à la France”. The boat has to stop several times for the athletes to applaud. Each bridge under which the French Passage is lit up is applauded and smiled by Emmanuel Macron. For 6 kilometres of the route, the “Final Countdown” of Europe and Gala’s “Freedom from Desire” resonate. In the Lungosenna, the party begins, which is set to last all night.
