Paris Olympics 2024

Paris Olympics 2024 began after a grand inauguration was held in France on July 26 as the iconic river Seine served as a track for the athletes' parade. The opening ceremony of Summer Games showcased France's cultural diversity, spirit of revolution, impeccable craftsmanship and architectural heritage.

The spectacle started with a dreamy break from tradition as 'Parade of Nations' kicked off the proceedings in which athletes from 205 countries and one refugee team sailed down the Seine on boats despite heavy rain, in the run-up to and during the ceremony, threatening to play spoilsport. French President Emmanuel Macron declared the Games open, marking the formal beginning of competitions for the next 16 days. So far, India has won three medals in the ongoing Paris Olympics, all three are bronze won in shooting.
