Google Celebrates Paris Olympics 2024 Opening With Special Doodle

Google is celebrating the start of the Summer Olympic Games 2024 with a special Doodle that highlights the occasion. The vibrant and interactive Doodle, featuring animals engaged in summer sports, replaces the usual Google logo on the homepage. The artwork will be visible throughout Friday, marking the commencement of the Games hosted in Paris from July 26 to August 11. Today’s Doodle pays tribute to the opening of the Olympics, which will officially kick off with a grand ceremony on the Seine River. The closing ceremony, featuring a parade of flags and athletes, will be held on August 11. The competition, however, has already begun with preliminary rounds in archery, soccer, handball, and rugby starting on July 24.

Google has not disclosed the name of the Doodle designer, but clicking on the Doodle directs users to search results related to the latest updates on the Paris Olympics 2024. The Games are generating significant excitement, with athletes and fans alike eagerly sharing their anticipation across various platforms. India is set to field a strong contingent in Paris, with 117 competitors participating in 69 events across 95 medal categories. Notable Indian athletes include javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, badminton stars PV Sindhu, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty, and weightlifter Mirabai Chanu. They are expected to be among the top contenders for medals. The Indian men’s hockey team will commence their campaign against New Zealand on July 27, along with other events in badminton, boxing, shooting, and table tennis. The Olympics will be broadcast on Sports 18 and the Viacom 18 network, and also live-streamed for free on the JioCinema app.
