Security concerns at the 2024 Summer Olympics: Spectator numbers at the opening ceremony significantly reduced. Interior Minister speaks of an “extremely high terrorist threat”: The opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place on and on the Seine.
More than 100 boats carrying the international athlete delegations will sail down the river on a six-kilometer route - past Parisian landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower. Heads of state and government from all over the world are also expected to attend the ceremony.
