"Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics" (26th, Seine River)
For the first time in the Summer Olympics, the opening ceremony was held outside a stadium, with athletes from each country entering the games on boats on the Seine.
The Japanese delegation was led by SHIGEKIX (real name: Shigeyuki Nakarai) in the new men's breaking event, and Misaki Emura in the women's sabre individual fencing event, and a total of 177 members (114 athletes) participated. The Japanese women's volleyball team, which is expected to win medals, had a relaxed atmosphere with 12 members including Sarina Koga taking group photos of themselves, and on social media, comments such as "All the women's volleyball players are cute," "The women's volleyball team is sitting in a good spot!" and "There are a lot of women's volleyball players." were posted.
The event was held under heightened security measures following large-scale acts of vandalism on several TGV lines, the high-speed train that runs through France, from the night of the 25th to the morning of the 26th.
