The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are set to commence with the opening ceremony on July 26, featuring over 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries. Local athletes from New York, including Olivia Coffey and Meghan Musnicki, are among those to watch, with Coffey competing in the women's eight-person shell aiming for redemption after a disappointing Tokyo performance. Meanwhile, cities like Manchester and Washington, D.C. are gearing up for festive watch parties, offering extended hours and special events at local bars and venues to celebrate the Games. The opening ceremony will be a unique event, taking place along the River Seine, marking the first time it is held outside a stadium since the 2018 Youth Olympics. Boston will also join in the excitement, with local venues broadcasting the events and featuring athletes like Jason Tatum and gymnast Frederick Richard. NBC and Peacock will provide extensive coverage of the Games, ensuring fans won't miss any action.
