While team sports will take centre stage Thursday on the eve of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the first individual event of the 2024 Games – archery – will be drawing all eyes to the Invalides on the banks of the River Seine. French rugby star Antoine Dupont’s Les Bleus enter their second day of play as the French women’s football team led by Hervé Renard take to the field to fight for their first major title. And the Olympic Torch continues its journey around Paris with a stopover in the city’s northeast suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis.
