 The 2024 Summer Olympic Games open this Friday in Paris, and this time the opening ceremony won't be in a stadium. Instead, Olympic athletes will fill dozens of boats and float down the famed Seine River. Spectators will watch from the riverbanks. The river parade will stretch over three miles. Thousands of officers will be deployed along the route. I'm Corva Coleman, NPR News. And this is the Publix Radio. I'm Luis Hernandez.
