The Olympics To Kick Off In Paris

The last time the Olympics were hosted in Paris was exactly a century ago.

Over a billion people around the world are expected to tune in Friday as the Olympics kicks off.

Over 10,000 athletes will be in Paris for what is expected to be the most ambitious opening ceremony ever.

To commemorate the official start of the Olympics, organizers have spent years orchestrating a dynamic and unique French affair.

The ceremony starts at 1:30pm and is expected to last over four hours.

The 206 national teams are set to parade, not around the stadium, but down the Seine River.
