A quick intro....

2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Start time, TV channel, date, live stream, key athletes and events

The 2024 Olympic Games begin July 26 and will be televised on NBC through Aug. 11

It's the time once again. It's time for the best athletes in the world to come together and crown champions in their various sports. The 2024 Olympic Games are set to begin this week in Paris as the world descends upon France. While there will be some qualifying events taking place earlier in the week, things officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony.

The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday and feature several firsts, including being the first ceremony to be held outside of a stadium, as well as a parade of athletes held on the Seine River with boats for each national delegation. The boats will travel along a 3.7-mile stretch, passing by many iconic Parisian landmarks along the way. The ceremony will conclude with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron.

Expect another gold-filled summer for the Americans as Team USA will be represented in just about every event over the course of the Games. Some of the biggest stars are back, including gymnast Simone Biles, decorated swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, as well as track athletes Noah Lyles and Sha'carri Richardson. Plus, the men's and women's basketball teams look to extend their dominant runs at the games with more gold.

There will be two flag bearers for the United States when the team takes the boat down the Seine River -- LeBron James and tennis star Coco Gauff. The 2023 US Open champion was stunned by the news when it was revealed to her on Wednesday.

"I never thought in a million years I would have the honour of carrying the American flag for Team USA in the opening ceremony," Gauff said in a statement.

"I could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is."

Here's how to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and highlights from the first week of competition.

She's a hero. She's making a mockery of the event.

USAWNT seems to be hanging by a thread. Several close calls and 1 brazil goal disallowed due to offside.

So that's a wrap on breakdancing as an Olympic sport, right?


It's embarrassing. It's like I'm walking on the boardwalk and get stopped by some people dancing for change and blocking the walkway. Yes yes, great, thanks, no I don't have any change, sorry, good luck. Excuse me I have to get somewhere.

I liked the part where that one chick fell down like she had been hit by a car, rolled around for a while, screaming in agony, then popped right back up like nothing really happened.

There are just so many US sports where we're afraid to get rid of the old guard because we're afraid to shatter legacies. It's good the US brought in a no nonsense coach and you can see what a huge difference it makes. I mean, hell I really dont understand the move to shelve rose lavelle who is one of their best. But who cares, it worked

Yea, they definitely held on to the last crew one cycle too long. But, they're gone now. That's all that matters.
