As a long-time sports enthusiast and someone who has followed the Olympics since I was a child, I couldn’t be more excited that the 2024 Paris Olympics will be shown in stunning 4K HDR with immersive surround sound! Having recently upgraded my home entertainment system to take advantage of this technology, I can only imagine the thrill of watching my favorite athletes compete live and in breathtaking detail.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are almost here.
In the United States, the international games of this year will debut on NBC and can only be streamed on Peacock starting July 26. The opening ceremony, rumored to feature performances by Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, will take place along the Seine instead of in a stadium, making it a first for modern Olympic history. Over 10,500 athletes and performers are expected to join the river parade.
At the final stretch of the torch relay, renowned rapper Snoop Dogg, joined by French artist MC Sollar, retired Ukrainian athlete Sergey Bubka and others, will carry the flame through Parisian suburb St.-Denis. The Olympics will end on August 11, with the Paralympics commencing from August 28 to September 8.
