Over 10,000 athletes will head to France's capital in hope of leaving with medals, with over one billion people expected to tune in for the Olympics opening ceremony before the games get underway.

Olympics 2024 to UK time difference explained
Fans of the Olympics who live in the UK don't need to worry about a major time difference for this summer's games.
Paris, France, is just one hour ahead of UK time. The opening ceremony will begin at 7:30pm local time, which is 6:30pm UK time.
Remarkably, this is the first Olympic Games in a European timezone since those halcyon days of London 2012, due to the Games taking place in Brazil and Japan.
British TV audiences will be delighted to tune in all day every day without being required to set an early (or late) alarm to catch all the key moments.
