Paris was yesterday counting down the hours to the most ambitious Olympics opening ceremony in history on the river Seine. The show tonight will see up to 7,500 competitors sail down a six-kilometre stretch of the Seine on 85 boats, accompanied by a performance blending French culture and Olympic values that organisers promise will be spectacular.

The Paris Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, are scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
