The 2024 Olympics, eagerly awaited by sports enthusiasts worldwide, commenced in Paris, one of the most renowned cities globally, on Friday, July 26.
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics has been described as “spectacular” by The Independent and “awe-inspiring” by BBC. The Washington Post also reported France’s initiative as an effort to “restore the glory to the Olympics.”
The event, attended by thousands of athletes, hundreds of artists from around the world, and leaders from several countries, was held under stringent security measures in Paris.
The Paris Olympics’ opening began with the illumination of the Eiffel Tower, followed by the entire city of Paris being lit up; a unique initiative that happened for the first time in Olympic history.
Previous Olympics were typically opened in a specific stadium, but the 2024 Olympics opened in a city where spectators were not confined to seats and enthusiastically followed all events under the rain.
This stunning event was held under tight security measures. French media reports indicated that around 45,000 police personnel and thousands of private security personnel were present to ensure the city’s security during the Olympics’ opening day.
The 2024 Paris Olympics not only marked a grand spectacle of sport and culture but also showcased France’s commitment to hosting a memorable and secure international event. The innovative approach of using the entire city as a backdrop for the opening ceremony set a new standard in Olympic history, emphasizing inclusivity and grandeur.
