The Paris Summer Olympic Games kicked off on Friday with the opening ceremony, which made history as the first Olympic ceremony to be held outside a stadium. Thousands of spectators watched the ceremony from the banks of the Seine, and even more tuned in from around the world. The ceremony was full of flair and emotion, but also some, well, wacky moments that bewildered and amused many viewers. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] if you're not watching the olympic opening ceremony the main torchbearer is a masked vigilante wearing keens and les miserables-style revolutionary rags who entered on a boat to the phantom of the opera theme and is now doing parkour around paris to techno.

Lady Gaga opened up the artistic portion of the show by singing in French, resplendent while reinterpreting a classic from the French revue, Mon truc en plume. Olympians smiled and bounced up and down on boats and soaked it all in—including the steady rain that fell during most of the Paris Summer Olympics opening ceremony. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The world hasn’t witnessed a truly festive opening ceremony since 2018, when the guy from Tonga took his shirt off—again—that time in the freezing cold, and fans from South Korea cheered the parade of nations at the Pyeongchang Winter Games.

One of the main attractions of the 2024 Paris Olympics is, of course, Paris. The City of Lights and its many world-famous landmarks will take center stage at this year’s Games. While equestrians will compete at Versailles, beach volleyball matches will play out in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.

Americans are, for only the second time in history, standing at the brink of that undiscovered country: the one where a woman is in charge. Perhaps now Sri Lankans (the first citizenry to elect a female national leader) will stop snickering. Perhaps the U. S. will finally win some respect from the Finns, who have elected four female leaders already.

Not even the pouring rain could dampen the mood as thousands of athletes and spectators alike gathered in Paris to kick off the 2024 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday. The spectacle was the first Olympic ceremony to be held outside a stadium, and featured several nods to French culture and performances by Lady Gaga and Mali-born French singer Aya Nakamura.

Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II views himself as the top cornerback in the league, and rightfully so. At some point, Denver will likely have to pay him as such. Surtain is eligible for a contract extension, which could make him one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL history. His teammate and fellow 2021 draft pick Quinn Meinerz landed a lucrative extension before camp, but Surtain said Friday that he doesn’t have a set date on when he wants a deal to get done.
