Olympics 2024 Opening Ceremony Pays Big Tribute To Hindi In Paris; Internet Says 'Proud To Be Indian'
The Paris Olympics 2024 got off to a glittering start with an opening ceremony that celebrated unity in diversity. The city of Paris turned into a colossal amphitheater, and the iconic river Seine served as a track for the athletes' parade as France showcased its cultural diversity, spirit of revolution, impeccable craftsmanship, and architectural heritage in a riveting opening ceremony for the 33rd Olympic Games on Friday. The spectacle started with a dreamy break from tradition as the 'Parade of Nations' kicked off the proceedings in which athletes from 205 countries and one refugee team sailed down the Seine on boats despite heavy rain, in the run-up to and during the ceremony, threatening to play spoilsport.
