Google is celebrating the start of the 2024 Paris Summer Games with an animated Doodle. This year, the opening ceremony is uniquely set to take place on the Seine River, featuring thousands of athletes floating down the river.

The celebrations include a speech from the host nation’s leader, followed by a parade of athletes from over 200 countries. The cauldron will be lit to officially commence the Games, which will run from July 26 to August 11. This 33rd edition of the Summer Olympics will feature 329 events across 32 sports disciplines, including the debut of four new sports: breaking, skateboarding, surfing, and sports climbing
