Paris Olympics: Here is how Team Kenya will dress for the iconic opening ceremony [PHOTOS]

National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) has revealed the opening ceremony dress for the women athletes at the Paris Olympics. 

The dress heavily features the Maasai theme, an unpopular idea when the men's kit was revealed few weeks ago. 

The Opening Ceremony of the Paris Games will take place on Friday, 26 July. It will start at 19:30 (CEST) and is expected to last more than three hours.

Set to be the first Olympic Games Opening Ceremony held outside a stadium, the celebration will transform the French capital into a stadium and theatre as the traditional parade of athletes takes place in boats along the Seine, passing the most iconic Parisian landmarks.

Instead of familiar images of athletes marching out along an athletics track, guests and viewers will be treated to a colourful river parade through the heart of the French capital.

The Seine, the city’s main water artery, will substitute for the traditional track, the quays will become spectator stands, while the setting sun reflecting off famous Parisian landmarks will provide the backdrop for the event.

This outdoor concept also makes Paris 2024 the largest Opening Ceremony in terms of audience and geographical coverage.

Almost 100 boats carrying an estimated 10,500 athletes will float along the Seine during the parade. The larger of the 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) represented in the parade will have boats to themselves, while the smaller ones will share boats.

Camera equipment set up on the decks will allow spectators to see the athletes up close and witness their emotions.
