Google Doodle Today: Google dedicated its doodle today for the Sailing events at the Paris Olympics 2024. The tech giant said in its description that “masterful maneuvers and Marseilles Marina views,” could prove to be a win-win situation.
Nethra Kumanan, and Vishnu Saravanan, would be representing India at the sailing events in the women's dinghy race, and men's Dinghy race categories respectively.
Featuring the characteristic bird that Google Doodle showcases for its doodles related to the Paris games, today's doodle portrays a dog carrying the bird together on the boat. For the second day of Sailing, the events are scheduled to start from three in the afternoon, with Men's Kite sailing at the beginning.
