( JTA ) — The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially underway. The Opening Ceremony will take place Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET, but the competition has already begun.
Israel has sent one of its largest-ever delegations, with athletes partaking in events ranging from swimming and triathlon to equestrian and gymnastics. Past Israeli Olympic medallists Artem Dolgopyat , Avishag Semberg and the country’s mixed judo team are returning, while Israel is competing in Olympic soccer for the first time 1976 .
There are also Jewish athletes hailing from the United States, Canada and Australia , including Olympic debutants like U.S. swimmer Claire Weinstein and veterans like Aussie paddler Jessica Fox .
Read on for a daily schedule of all Olympic events featuring an Israeli or Jewish competitor. Many sports — including canoe slalom, fencing, gymnastics and sailing — include multi-layered competition, in some cases with several events in one day. In those cases, we have included each athlete’s first event, and will update the calendar when athletes advance in competition. For sports like rugby, soccer and beach volleyball, where athletes play multiple games in the first round, all scheduled matches are included.
All competitions are listed in Eastern Daylight Time. The full Olympic schedule can be seen here .
