As the Paris Olympics approaches, athletes from India are bracing for an unprecedented experience at the opening ceremony on the River Seine. The ceremony, which is set to unfold over nearly four hours, will see athletes spending 45 minutes aboard boats. However, the total time commitment for the event is expected to be significantly longer, with athletes spending an average of 7 hours and 40 minutes from departure to their return.
During this lengthy period, participants will walk distances ranging from 940 to 2,300 meters, and stand for approximately 5 hours and 27 minutes. To sustain them through the extensive duration, athletes will be provided with muesli bars, crackers, fruit, nuts, water bottles, and life jackets.
These logistical details, provided by the event organizers, are crucial for athletes as they prepare for the grand spectacle that marks the start of the Games. Despite these preparations, much of the ceremony remains cloaked in mystery, adding an element of anticipation to the Olympic opening night.
