The attacks that disrupted France’s high-speed rail system did not impact the Japanese delegation in Paris for the 2024 Olympics.
A series of attacks, including arson, occurred on Friday, hours before the planned start of an ambitious opening ceremony that will see athletes ride boats down a 6-km stretch of the River Seine. More than 10,000 athletes and thousands of spectators will attend the opening ceremony, which will be the first held outside of a stadium.
Mitsugi Ogata, head of the Japanese delegation, said there was no disruption to Team Japan.
