The tennis legend struggled to keep her balance as the boat raced down the River Seine.
Serena Williams and Carl Lewis struggled on a boat during the Olympic opening ceremony Serena Williams probably wasn’t the only athlete who struggled on the River Seine during the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris on Friday night. Paris 2024 officially got underway but for the first time in history, athletes were not paraded inside the host city stadium as they were instead put on boats and sent along the Seine to wave to spectators.
’ The boat then pulled up to a jetty where Nadal passed on the flame from his torch to retired French tennis player Amelie Mauresmo, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2006. Earlier in the torch relay, Nadal looked absolutely thrilled as he was given the Olympic torch by former France and Real Madrid midfielder Zinedine Zidane. Nadal, who is competing at the Olympics in Paris, was born in Madrid and is a huge fan of Zidane’s former team.
