Boats floated leisurely along the Seine River, and cheers were heard as athletes from each country waved their national flags on board. Dancers performed magnificent dances and performances throughout the city, impressing upon the world that the stage for this Olympics was ‘the whole of Paris.’

The 2024 Paris Olympics officially opened at 7:30 PM on the 26th (2:30 AM on the 27th, Korean time). Almost a century after the 1924 Summer Olympics, the Olympics have returned to Paris, the city of romance and art.

The Olympics, which were held under the theme of ‘completely open competitions,’ began by removing barriers from the opening ceremony. For the first time in Olympic history, the opening ceremony of the Olympics was held outdoors, not in a stadium or opening ceremony venue.

The 206 national teams participating in the Games entered the Olympics on 85 boats, crossing the Seine River. Dancers danced and played instruments on the roof of the Paris City Hall, along the banks of the Seine, and on bridges.

Zidane, who was initially expected to be the final torchbearer, appeared in the video as the first torchbearer to announce the start of the opening ceremony. Zidane, who was carrying the torch, rode the Paris subway and when the subway stopped, he handed the torch to children, who entered the Trocadero square where the opening ceremony stage was set up. This was where the VIPs, including French President Emmanuel Macron and IOC President Thomas Bach, were seated.

The Paris Olympic Organizing Committee emphasized that this event will be an “equal event” by performing a scene from “Les Miserables” during the opening ceremony. In particular, gender equality was highlighted in this Olympics, with the ratio of male and female athletes being 50 to 50.
