Paris Olympics Open with Unique Seine Ceremony

The 2024 Paris Olympics kicked off with a unique opening ceremony along the Seine River, showcasing the city's commitment to sustainability and existing infrastructure use. Heightened security measures were in place following past terror attacks and recent threats. The Games have faced challenges, including anti-Israel protests during a soccer match, but athletes remain focused on their performances. Roland Garros has been temporarily transformed to host various events, such as boxing. The Olympic Village, located in the impoverished Seine Saint Denis district, aims to leave a lasting legacy despite high living costs. The Olympics continue their tradition of promoting safe sex by distributing 300,000 condoms this year.
