Thousands of athletes got drenched on the River Seine as they slowly crawled through rainy Paris to kick off the Olympics.

The event was in stark contrast to the second annual New Heights Beer Bowl.
Participants were announced as they passed by on boats in scenes that were eerily similar to those in the French capital.
Travis, 34, and Jason, 36, like to do their bit for charity and host plenty of events tied to their successful New Heights Podcast.
After NBC posted pictures from Paris on X, the podcast’s official channel replied with a video of their own opening ceremony at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City, New Jersey, earlier this month.
“Nothing hits quite like an Opening Ceremony on the water,” was the caption.
“Kelces did it better,” commented one fan.
“You guys crack me up,” added a second.
A third posted: “They totally stole your concept!”
“The same level of pageantry,” agreed a fourth.
A major technical glitch hit the Olympics after a big screen completely cut out.
The weather took a turn for the worse during the celebrations as France suffered from the heaviest period of rainfall for 30 years.
Spectators looked glum as they adorned transparent water-proof macs while sitting to watch the extravaganza on the river.
The jumbo screen at the Trocadero appeared to suffer a blackout as a result of the dreary weather.
Viewers were also left complaining as the noise of the rain sounded out Lady Gaga’s voice in the microphone.
The weather got worse at the opening ceremony, before a new challenge entered the fray – waves.
With the next edition of the Games heading to Los Angeles, organizers may give the Kelces a call.
The duo returned from Europe this summer with plenty of offers to expand their growing media empire.
The Kelce brothers were invited to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where many advertising and branding experts meet up for awards and business deals.
While at the festival, the brothers found multiple new opportunities to leverage internationally.
A person close to Jason and Travis’ entourage shared how important the festival was to the brothers for brand opportunities.
“That was something that was in the conversation for many weeks, and it was marked and highlighted in their schedule as it’s the place to be to network, to speak and to make business with people, companies, brands and experts that have influences all over the world, and in markets that are still be to discovered, prospected by both brothers in the media and business side,” the source told The U.S. Sun.
“They were very excited to go there, as they didn’t know what to really expect for this trip in Cannes, and to be clear, it was above their expectations, and they were surprised that so many people knew about them, and are interested in their projects and would like to work with them.
“They had meetings, and tons of contacts and people, companies that would like to work with them, and some numbers were put on the table, from Asian companies who targets Travis to be a brand ambassador, for amounts of around $1.5 to $2 million a year, to some brands and companies that would like to work with both brothers to try to get into the American market.”
