The Olympic flag was raised upside down during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, causing an embarrassing moment. Despite the rain, the event featured a historic boat parade with 85 boats carrying 7,000 athletes from 205 countries. The flag was carried by a masked man and hoisted incorrectly, with the five-coloured rings in the wrong position. The ceremony, held along the River Seine, was otherwise successful, showcasing French flair and welcoming the world's top athletes. The mistake was a rare error in an otherwise smooth and spectacular event.
