I have been hearing more and more about this project and its pretty incredible... can't help but think of River Des Peres when I hear about it (not the same project but I can't help it, lol), but a truly incredible city infrastructure project for the games, and will make the entire river swimmable for the city in 2025. So cool.



Opening Ceremony Unveiled
https://olympics.com/en/news/whats-new- ... g-ceremony

For the first time in history, the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games will not take place in a stadium. On 26 July 2024, exactly one year from now, thousands of athletes will parade in boats along the Seine, the river that flows through Paris, in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators. Here is what you need to know about the spectacular event.

There should be more boat parades in general but it doesn't really work in St. louis. Our rivers are either too big or too small.  Chicago could do it.

Yeah I agree, but the project is still amazing. 

Will make a really amazing scene for the olympics - I can already see the drone videos for this being incredible. They have already had a few test trials for the World Triathlon that met the water quality requirements - few cancelled too. 

^Agreed, Mayor Hidalgo seems like a pretty impressive leader.
