The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris had an impressive start after initial complications. Despite rainy weather conditions and alleged acts of sabotage that affected the French high-speed rail network, the organizers managed to turn the event into a spectacular showcase. At the center of it was French soccer hero Zinedine Zidane, who held the Olympic Flame. In a pre-recorded video, Zidane was seen running through a Paris traffic jam, skillfully navigating through the lines of vehicles. He eventually handed the flame to a group of children in the metro. They traversed the city's catacombs and finally brought the flame to a boat. At this point, the broadcast switched to a real-time shot of the Seine. This creative staging and incorporation of Parisian landmarks gave the opening ceremony a special touch and made the preparation challenges fade into the background. With this, Paris has demonstrated that, despite all adversities, it is capable of hosting the Olympic Games at the highest level.
