Paris Olympics 2024 has started with a historic opening ceremony on the Seine River. This was the first time that the opening ceremony of the Olympics was held outside the ground. Many stars took part in the four-hour ceremony. Superstars like pop star Lady Gaga, Aya Nakamuka were seen performing. At the same time, more than 6500 athletes from 206 countries participated in the 6 kilometer long Parade of Nations on 94 boats. During this, some players were also prevented from boarding the boat.

These players did not enter the opening ceremony parade

Greece's team came first in the parade because the modern Olympic Games started in this country. France came last because it is the host country. During this time, Nigeria's team was in the news a lot. According to reports, Nigeria's women basketball team was not allowed to board the delegation boat for the opening ceremony of Paris Olympics.

According to reports, the Nigerian women's basketball team was prevented from boarding the boat by a Nigerian official. The reason behind this has also come to light. Actually, the Nigerian women's basketball team and their coach were not allowed entry on the boat due to too many players on the boat. After this, the team had to go back to the Athletes Village. At the same time, the rest of the members of the Nigerian delegation shared a boat with Niger and Norway. However, no statement has come from the Nigerian delegation on this issue.

This opening ceremony was very special

From the first Olympics in 1896 to 2020, the opening ceremony was held inside the stadium. For the first time in history, the ceremony started from the famous Seine river in the middle of Paris, which was quite historic. During this, fans were seen sitting on both sides of the river. This is also considered to be the biggest opening ceremony in the history of Olympics, in which 3 to 4 lakh fans are expected to arrive. Let us tell you, a total of 10714 athletes from 206 countries are participating in the Paris Olympics and this time 329 gold medals of 32 sports are at stake.
