Kazakhstani Olympic delegation sails the Seine
Kazakhstani Olympic delegation sailed along the River Seine at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in France, Kazinform News Agency correspondent reports.
Live broadcast is conducted by Silk Way TV channel that became one of five channels in Kazakhstan that were granted the rights to broadcast the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris.
Boxer Aslanbek Shymbergenov and athlete Olga Safronova carry the flag of Kazakhstan's national team. The Kazakhstan delegation shared their boat with teams from Japan, Kenya, and Jordan.
Instead of the traditional passage along the stadium lanes, spectators from all over the world watch the “river” parade, where each team represents its country on the water.
The Kazakhstani delegation to Paris includes 149 athletes and coaches, five representatives of the Kazakh Tourism and Sport Ministry, six members of the Sport Development Directorate, 10 National Olympic Committee officials, 23 doctors and massage therapists of the National Sport Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, and 16 media representatives.
