France’s high-speed rail network was hit by a “series of coordinated arson attacks” that resulted in significant disruption across the country just hours before the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On a day when hundreds of heads of state and government officials are expected in the French capital for the start of the Games — with a global audience of over 1 billion people set to watch on TV — authorities were left scrambling to mitigate the damage.
The French rail operator SNCF described the fires as “a massive attack on a large scale to paralyze” the rail network, which was “the victim of several simultaneous, malicious acts overnight,” including fires set to train stations. 800,000 tourists are expected in Paris this weekend but the company now “encourages (passengers) to postpone their trips”.
Today’s opening ceremony is set to feature boats carrying athletes and dignitaries down the River Seine, with space for 300,000 spectators. Authorities have promised overcast skies over Paris will not derail proceedings or dampen the mood.
About 220,000 invited and security-screened spectators are expected to fill the upper tiers of the Seine’s banks, and an additional 104,000 paying spectators will watch from the lower riverside and around the Trocadéro plaza.
Those in Paris who could not get tickets will be able to watch the ceremony on 80 giant screens set up throughout the city.
Will the train sabotage impact the opening?
A major disruption of train traffic plunged Paris into uncertainty only hours before the scheduled start of the ceremony.
There were no immediate indication that what a government official was calling a series of “criminal fires” near the tracks would impact the start.
Who is performing at the opening ceremony?
In addition to the athletes who will participate in the parade, 3,000 dancers, artists and other athletes will be featured in the opening and closing ceremonies. Most of the entertainment acts remain under wraps. NBC News reported that Celine Dion and Lady Gaga have arrived in Paris amid speculation that one or both of the pop singers will perform at the opening ceremony.
What happens if it rains at the opening ceremony?
Light showers hit Paris on Friday morning with more forecasted for about the time the ceremony starts. It means there’s a good chance onlookers and athletes will get wet since there is no roof over the Seine.
If it rains, the ceremony is expected to go on as planned. dfgdfg
