Countdown to the Paris Olympics: 100 Days Left Until Kicking Off Globally!

The Paris Olympics are just 100 days away, marking the beginning of a two-week long global sporting event. Competitions will start on July 24th, with men’s rugby and soccer matches kicking things off. The final medal events will take place on August 11th, leading up to the Closing Ceremony which marks the end of the competition.

NBC and Peacock will provide live coverage of the event, allowing viewers to follow all the action from around the world. In celebration of the countdown, Team USA athletes took part in a challenge where they had to guess which Olympic sport a professional mime was acting out. Viewers can watch the video and try to guess the sport before the athletes do.

The Opening Ceremony for the Paris Olympics is set for July 26th, with events beginning at 8:24 p.m. local time or 2:24 p.m. ET. Competitions will commence two days before the ceremony, launching the start of this prestigious global event. The Olympic flame will be placed in the Tuileries Garden in front of the Louvre museum as a symbol of this esteemed occasion.
