Paris shines through summer storm in spectacular Olympic opening ceremony

LA Times  

All around the city there was talk of bad weather and nervous glances toward a dour, gray sky. It seemed that nothing — not even a drenching summer storm — could stop the Paris Olympics from staging one of the most spectacular opening ceremonies ever. U.S. flagbearers Coco Gauff and Lebron James stand the the front of the Team USA boat as it floats down the Seine during the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony. Shortly after those arson attacks caused delays for thousands of railway travelers, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo issued a statement saying she hoped the Games could be “a communal celebration” and “an unforgettable moment of public festivity.” French soccer legend Zinedine Zidane carries the Olympic Torch during the opening ceremony. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee delivers a speech at the Trocadero during the opening ceremony.
