The 2024 edition of the Olympic which is held in Paris, France officially kick-started today with a stellar unconventional opening ceremony.
The organizers of the event decided to think outside the box by taking the opening ceremony away from the usual stadium 🏟 event to the beautiful city of Paris where ingenious crafts were in full display.
