Nothing embodies the timelessness of athletic competition like the Olympics. More than 10,000 elite athletes scattered across the world will converge upon Paris, France, to test their talent and endurance. The event will mark the first time in a century that the City of Light will host the games, which are set to include nearly every sport from aquatics to wrestling. This year will also see the debut of breakdancing in addition to many other new Olympic sports. Plus, Snoop Dogg will be providing some color commentary as a special correspondent. Yes, Snoop Dogg. 

The games open on July 26 and close on August 11. Between those dates, expect thrilling victories, heartbreaking defeats, and a plethora of gold medals. The opening ceremony will likely draw hundreds of thousands of spectators in the flesh and will include more than 160 boats putting on an ambitious show on the river Seine. But, the best view might be at home where you can watch all the action through the many cameras covering every angle of the pageantry.
