On Friday, the Summer Olympics were inaugurated in Paris.

Then, the former track and field athlete Marie-José Pérec and judoka Teddy Riner had the great honor of lighting the Olympic flame.

During the ceremony, several big stars acted as torchbearers until it was finally handed over to Pérec and Riner. Zinedine Zidane, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams were among them.
