Now back on the typical quadrennial cycle, the Olympics come to Paris for 2024. And unlike in Tokyo, there will actually be fans in the stands. And the Games will all play out against the backdrop of the City of Lights.
The formal kickoff will be the opening ceremony on Friday at 1:30 p.m. (all times Eastern). Rather than in a stadium, the event is being held on the river Seine, as athletes will board 90 boats and cruise from the Jardin des Plantes to the Eiffel Tower.
In the U.S., NBC will once again be the main broadcaster, but events will also be shown on sister stations like CNBC and USA Network. NBCOlympics.com has a full schedule.
