The coordinated wave of arson assaults on the French railway network on Friday, which disrupted the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of passengers, made things worse.
However, a colorful opening ceremony and an early wave of French medals have begun to instill optimism in many local residents.
Furthermore, some locals claim that when the rain clouds part, the sport is beginning to foster the much-needed unity in France.
The sun finally appeared on a fan zone in the city’s 13th district the morning after France won its first gold medal of the Games.
After the French team won the men’s rugby sevens, a man by the name of Max was overjoyed. He declared, “I was very proud.” “However, even though some people are not excited about the Olympics, I have always been.”
Perhaps the most ambitious opening ceremony of the sporting spectacle to date was held on Friday, which surprised many people with its flawless execution.
With one of the pre-filmed inserts featuring torchbearer Zinedine Zidane aboard a broken-down metro train, director Thomas Jolly seemed to anticipate any potential problems.
