The 2024 Paris Olympic Games opened with a spectacular ceremony on the river Seine, featuring mechanical horses, Lady Gaga, and Marie Antoinette. World leaders like Ursula von der Leyen and Olaf Scholz praised the event for celebrating global cooperation and athletic perseverance. However, reviews from social media users and newspapers like The Guardian and the New York Times were more critical, calling the ceremony bizarre and patchy. French newspaper Le Monde praised the director for transforming the capital into a stage but right-leaning Le Figaro found some parts of the show to be unnecessarily provocative. Despite mixed reviews, the ceremony marked the start of what promises to be an exciting Olympic Games in Paris.
