Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi made headlines in Paris late last month when he shared a heartfelt tribute to his wife after losing his wedding ring in the Seine River during the Games’ opening ceremony.

Many of the Olympic triathletes who swam in the Seine River this week say the current was a much bigger problem than any pollution they encountered.

The long-awaited summer games launched on Friday with an extravagant opening ceremony on the Seine River featuring Paris's most avante-garde fashion, art, politics and music.

Aside from her engagement, Gaga made headlines this weekend for her performance along the Seine River, paying tribute to French ballerina and singer Zizi Jeanmaire with her rendition of “Mon Truc en Plumes.”

The “My Heart Will Go On” singer capped a nearly four-hour program spread across the Seine River that showcased just about every genre of music and French talent — in the rain.
