The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are set to kick off as scheduled, with the opening ceremony proceeding as planned despite recent disruptions on France's high-speed train lines. A spokesperson for Paris 2024 confirmed that the organising committee has no concerns and is moving forward with the event.
Just hours before the conclusion of the Olympic torch relay and the commencement of the opening ceremony, France experienced a series of 'malicious' acts targeting the train network. These acts, which have been described as 'coordinated sabotage,' included incidents of arson aimed at disrupting travel.
