What’s on the Olympics Today (July 27, 2024)

The 2024 Paris Olympics have formally started, with an eye-popping Opening Ceremony kicking off a global festival of sports and culture.

The first medals will be awarded Saturday, July 27, including in diving, skateboarding, and shooting, so perhaps viewers will see who the first American to mount an Olympic podium will be. Other notable events include men’s gymnastics, the U.S. men’s soccer team taking on New Zealand, and the U.S. women’s water polo team squaring off against Greece.
