An intense safety presence

The open-air venue has invited severe safety issues, and officers have locked down the town in anticipation. Tens of 1000’s of police and navy personnel have descended upon the town. Closed roads and bridges at and across the Seine are exacerbating crowd and visitors congestion.

At the very least one incident has already rattled safety posture. This morning, authorities mentioned a “coordinated” arson assault on the French rail community introduced the system to a standstill.

A starry American lineup

As the 2 flagbearers for the US, tennis star Coco Gauff and NBA’s prime scorer LeBron James will wave the crimson, white and blue throughout the procession.

Current sightings of Celine Dion and Woman Gaga in Paris, and the hints which have dropped since, heightened expectations that the pop phenoms will carry out a duet throughout the bash. It could be a exceptional Olympics return for Dion — she carried out on the opening ceremony on the Atlanta Video games in 1996.

Her final stay efficiency was in New York in 2020.
