The Paris Olympics opening ceremony for the 33rd Olympic Games on Friday turned France's capital into a colossal amphitheatre, and the iconic river Seine served as a track for the athletes' parade. The ceremony began with the six-kilometre-long ‘Parade of Nations’ during which athletes from 205 countries and one refugee team sailed down the Seine on boats despite heavy rain. Several artistes, including American pop superstar Lady Gaga, performed at the event.
