The 2024 Paris Olympics are underway, and Team USA is already making a splash. The summer games kicked off on July 26 with an impressive opening ceremony that took place along the River Seine, featuring performances by world-renowned artists like Celine Dion and Lady Gaga.

Basketball star LeBron James and tennis champion Coco Gauff led the way as flagbearers for Team USA during the opening ceremony. Gauff, 20, shared her emotional response to being chosen for the honor, saying she was ” speechless” and felt “worthy” of the recognition.

“I didn’t want to cry in front of my teammates,” she added. “When Chris [Eubanks] told me, I was holding it in, but when I called my mom, I started crying because I think it’s even more special that so many incredible people — even now I get emotional thinking about it — but so many incredible people just think that I am worthy of this. It means a lot, truly.”
