This gives us even more confidence to look forward to this Olympic Games."
Participating countries and athletes
Half of the participating National Olympic Committees have already arrived in Paris, and more than 2,000 athletes have already moved into the Olympic Village. 17 athletes have already begun training for the 17 events, the first of which will take place on July 24th.
Opening Ceremony Details
: The opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games will take place on the Seine. The Paris Olympic Organizing Committee envisages that the opening ceremony will kick off slowly along the Seine at sunset. Athletes will depart from the Pont d'Austerlitz by boat from east to west, sailing six kilometers to the Place du Trocadéro, across the river from the Eiffel Tower, where they will take part in the ceremonies.
This unique opening ceremony design not only reflects the culture and beautiful scenery of Paris, but also brings a visual feast to the global audience. Bach expressed his high appreciation for the preparations in Paris and his confidence in the upcoming Olympic Games.
As Opening Day approaches, the eyes of the world will once again be on Paris. Athletes from all over the world are ready to show their best on the Olympic field. Let us all look forward to the grand opening of this sporting event and share the emotion and passion brought by the Olympic spirit.
