Paris Olympics kicked off with an opening ceremony unlike any other, with athletes from more than 200 nations floating down the Seine River on boats. The city itself served as a magnificent backdrop as the parade of nations unfolded with iconic landmarks making appearances throughout the show.

Just hours before the opening ceremony begins, France’s high-speed train lines were targeted by “malicious” acts in what was described as “coordinated sabotage”

Security, water quality in the Seine, the Opening Ceremony and top athletes to watch are among the questions about the Paris Olympics.

Paris kicked off its first Summer Olympics in a century on with a rain-soaked, rule-breaking opening ceremony studded with stars and fantasy along the Seine River.
