The Paris Olympics are just 100 days away, with the start of the games set for July 24. Competitions will kick off on that day, and the Opening Ceremony is scheduled for July 26. Over the course of two weeks, athletes from around the world will compete in dozens of sports, representing their countries in a global competition.
NBC and Peacock will provide live coverage of the event, starting with men’s rugby and men’s soccer matches on July 24. The final medal events will take place on Day 16, which is August 11. The Games will conclude with the Closing Ceremony, marking the end of the competition.
In celebration of the countdown to the Olympics, Team USA athletes participated in a challenge where they had to guess which Olympic sport a professional mime was acting out. Viewers can watch the video and try to guess the sport before the athletes do.

Competitions will commence on July 24, two days before the ceremony, launching the start of this prestigious global sporting event.
