KWA Posted July 25, 2024 Share Posted July 25, 2024 Some of the events have started already and reports today of a 4 hour football (soccer) game disrupted by fan misbehaviour, and the opening ceremony due to be held tomorrow on the River Seine instead of in the stadium. What are you looking forward to or trying to avoid. And how did break dancing become an Olympic event? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 French rail lines disrupted by ‘coordinated sabotage’ ahead of Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony France’s high-speed train lines were targeted by multiple “malicious” acts including arson on Friday, in what has been described as “coordinated sabotage” to disrupt travel ahead of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics. France’s state railways company SNCF called the overnight disruption a “massive attack aimed at paralyzing the high-speed line network.” In a post on X, SNCF said “a large number of trains were diverted or canceled,” and asked “all travelers who can to postpone their trip and not go to the station.” The railway operator said the disruption hit Atlantic, Northern and Eastern high-speed lines, with damage caused to several of its facilities. SNCF said one of the acts was “foiled.” Travel on these lines is “very disrupted,” with the railway network needing to divert and cancel a large number of trains, SNCF said. Disruptions - which it estimates could impact around 800,000 travelers - were expected throughout the weekend as work crews oversee repairs, it added. ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
