Associated Press  

Catch up on AP’s coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, with performances from Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and more. PARIS — A hot-air balloon brought an Olympic ring of fire into a rainy sky and singer Celine Dion belted from the Eiffel Tower as Paris kicked off its first Summer Olympics in a century Friday, with a four-hour-long, rule-breaking opening ceremony that unfurled along the Seine River. Spectators cheer as Great Britain athletes pass under a bridge along the Seine River during the opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Friday, July 26, 2024. Paris’ aim, said chief Paris Games organizer Tony Estanguet, was “to show to the whole world and to all of the French that in this country, we’re capable of exceptional things.” See AP’s best photos from the 2024 Paris Olympics 1 of 30 | The cauldron rises by the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in Paris, France, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Friday, July 26, 2024.
