PARIS - Mason Parris rubbed shoulders with some big names in sport and entertainment as the 2024 Summer Olympics got underway with the Opening Ceremony on Friday.

Parris was also seen pictured with Snoop Dogg, who was a ceremonial torchbearer for the Summer Games. 

Parris is a star in his own right as a National Champion wrestler and Team USA's representative in the Men's Freestyle 125 kg, which will be contested August 9-10.
