TThe Paris Summer Olympics are in full swing, with thousands of athletes from around the world competing for a place on the podium.

The Games, which officially began on Friday, July 26, have already generated unforgettable moments, from Celine Dion’s rousing performance at the Opening Ceremony – her first since revealing her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis – to Stephen Nedoroscik of Team USA, leading men’s gymnastics to its first medal in 16 years with his pommel horse routine, becoming a national hero in the process.

Photographers who documented the Paris Olympics created indelible images, from BMX action shots to canoeing and table tennis. Here are some of the best photos from the Summer Olympics:
