People in Milwaukee excited for Paris Olympics opening Friday

It's time for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Opening Ceremony begins at 12:30CT and will formally start the games.
It has been a century since the city of light last hosted the Olympics and there is so much in store for the big return.
"All those athletes that work so hard over the past four years," said Nick Perkins. "Some might be their last one so you want to root for those people who put in all the time dedication."
This year things will be a little different. For example, this will be the first time the Opening Ceremony will not take place in a stadium and it's the first one open to the public. 600,000 people are expected to watch on as the best of the best athletes arrive by boat down River Seine. We're told 100 boats will carry more than 10,000 Olympians to kick off the summer games.
The entire Opening Ceremony will last around 4.5 hours and will air on NBC.
You'll see all the world's top talent.
