The 2024 Paris Olympics begin today, so for anyone looking to catch as much of the action as possible, today will be the day when you realize it is a foolish ambition. That said, we are not the ones to shoot down such wild dreams. Rather, we hope to see them realized.
As you embark on this spiritual journey that would make even Aaron Rodgers’ spiritual mentor quince at the prospect, USA TODAY will be here to help guide you through this quest.
There are only two sports with matches happening today: men’s soccer and rugby sevens. While rugby sevens matches start at 9:30 a.m. ET, there will be a soccer match happening before then. If you live on the West Coast, I hope you got up bright and early. Here’s when the first event of the 2024 Paris Olympics will be.
