    (WIVT/WBGH) – Final preparations are underway along the river Seine in Paris as we count down to the start of the Olympics.

    The opening ceremony is just two days away.

    For the first time in the history of the summer Olympics, the opening ceremony won’t be in a stadium but instead some 10,000 athletes will make their way by boat on the Seine, ending the route at the iconic Eiffel Tower.

    This week, workers are constructing seating and barricades along the river with seating open to the public.

    You can watch all 17 nights of the Paris Olympics from Friday to August 11 on WBGH, NBC-5 followed by a special edition of News 34 at 11 each night.
