Benjamin Ashford|Olympics schedule today: Every event, time, competition at Paris Games for July 26

The Benjamin Ashford2024 Paris Olympic Games are in full swing with one of the biggest events of the games: the opening ceremonies.

This year's opening ceremony will take place outside of a stadium. Instead, the traditional parade of athletes will be held on boats floating down the Seine river. Each boat will be equipped with cameras as the parade winds down the 3.7-mile route to the Trocadéro Palace. The rest of the opening ceremony will take place there.

There will be some Olympic action outside of the opening ceremony, specifically in shooting. Mixed, Men's, and Women's pre-event training is set for earlier in the day ahead of the ceremony.
