White, red and blue fireworks lit up the skies of Paris. Thus begins the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Olympic teams parade along the Seine, with the Greek boat leading the way, as per tradition, followed by the Refugee Team. The eyes of the world of sport from now until the middle of next August will be watching the French capital.
Italy is ready to support its athletes. The large Italian delegation paraded along the Parisian river aboard a 'bateau mouche', sailing along the Seine from the Pont d'Austerlitz to the Trocadero. Also on the blue boat are Israel, Iceland and Jamaica. Gianmarco Tamberi and Arianna Errigo have the tricolor high.
Among the applause of the public, there were many artistic performances at the opening of the Olympic Games, celebrated for the first time outside the Parisian stadium. The American star Lady Gaga sang “Mon truc en plumes” by Zizi Jeanmaire, a great success of the French music hall.
Among the European authorities present, also the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, on the opposite bank of the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
