The 2024 Paris Olympics kicked off with an impressive opening ceremony that saw the Olympic cauldron lit by the Olympic flame carried by athletes. The cauldron, which doubled as a hot air balloon, ascended into the night sky of Paris. The event featured performances by global superstars like Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, as well as a mesmerizing metal horse galloping down the Seine River. Team USA made a grand entrance, and even the smallest Ukrainian delegation made its mark. The ceremony showcased a mix of artistic performances, light shows, and extravagant displays, including a zip line for the Olympic torch over the River Seine. Snoop Dogg described the torchbearer’s role as a peace messenger. The 2024 Paris Olympics are being broadcast on NBC and streaming on Peacock from July 26 to August 11, offering viewers a chance to witness the spectacular event in the City of Light.
