PHOTOS: 2024 Olympics in Paris

Paris kicked off its first Summer Olympics in a century on July 26 with a rain-soaked, rule-breaking opening ceremony studded with stars and fantasy along the Seine River.

Still, crowds crammed the Seine’s banks and bridges and watched from balconies, “oohing” and “aahing” as Olympic teams paraded in boats down the waterway that got increasingly choppy as the weather worsened. See photos of the opening ceremony and the competitions.

The 2024 Olympics in Paris wrap up this weekend, so see the latest coverage and stunning photos of global athletes.
