Well, it’s finally here! The Olympic flame has arrived in Paris and we’re ready for two weeks of sporting action!

Although the Olympic Games officially start tonight after the opening ceremony, a number of events have already begun, including football, rugby sevens, archery and handball.

A total of 10,500 athletes from 206 countries around the world will attend tonight’s unique opening ceremony, which will take place on the River Seine.

This is a first for the Olympic Games. It is the first time that the opening ceremony tonight will be held outside a stadium.

The event kicks off at 18:30 BST (19:30 local time), but all the latest updates, commentary and key discussion points will be posted live here on Mail Sport.
