France Kicks Off Olympics 2024 Under Tight Security

Opening Ceremony Details: The Paris Olympics 2024 will officially begin with an opening ceremony on Friday, July 26, at 7:30 p.m. (1530 GMT) . The ceremony will take place on the Seine River, passing by famous landmarks like the Louvre Museum and Pont des Arts bridge .

Security Measures: The ceremony will be protected by snipers on rooftops, and the Seine’s riverbed has been swept for bombs . Paris’ airspace will be closed, and radar-surveillance planes and Reaper drones will watch sensitive sites from above .

Athlete Participation: Nearly 7,000 athletes will participate in the ceremony, and more than 300,000 spectators will watch from the banks .

Security Concerns: The French have left nothing to chance when it comes to security for the opening ceremony, with 45,000 police dispatched to ensure the ceremony’s security .

Impact on Locals: High security means much grumbling from locals, after police imposed a security zone along the river ahead of the opening ceremony, erecting metal barriers to fence off neighborhoods and requiring authorization – passes with QR codes – to enter .
