Summary
Chris Chavez and Mac Fleet have arrived on-site in Paris for the 2024 Olympics. We share a little behind-the-scenes of CITIUS MAG's first few days in France and what to expect from our coverage of the Games.
Chris attended the Opening Ceremony and stood in the rain to watch the Parade of Nations as each country made its way down the Seine and toward the Trocadero before the Olympic flame was lit to mark the start of the Games. Judo star Teddy Riner and 400 meter Olympic gold medalist Marie-José Pérec lit the Olympic cauldron
Plus, Céline Dion made her return to the stage for the first time since 2020 as she's been dealing with stiff person syndrome and took some time away to focus on her health. She performed Edith Piaf’s “L’Hymne à l’amour.”
We recap Day 1 and get ready for track.
