The Olympics in Paris have officially begun. South African athletes attended the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ahead of the monumental games.
One athlete, hockey player Ongeziwe Mali, took to social media and showed people the goody bags they got for qualifying for the Paris Olympics. South Africans were fascinated as they saw the athletes' gifts for being in the Olympics.
According to The Citizen, the opening Olympics Games ceremony included a parade of 85 boats. There were some of the 138 South African athletes from 19 Sports who shared a boat with other countries, including Albania.
One of the South African athletes, Ongeziwe Mali, unboxed the Olympics 2024's welcome goodie bag. In the video, she showed a water bottle, a toiletry bag, and other treats, including a Samsung Fliphone smartphone.
Others were curious as athletes from different countries said they got a Samsung flip phone. Many were to see the SA athlete with the Samsung Z. Read people's comments below:

Briefly News previously reported that the Springboks made up for their earlier blunder against Ireland with an emphatic display in front of a noisy Bloemfontein crowd on Saturday.
Coach Rassie Erasmus went with a "weekend" team for the match, which paid dividends as the world champions scored 10 tries to cast Portugal aside 64-21 at the Free State Stadium.
World Cup-winning winger Makazole Mapimpi dotted down three times, with seven other players in the mix to round off 10 tries for the hosts.
