Massive queues can be seen as visitors struggle with ponchos and umbrellas at Roland Garros in Paris, as the tennis tournament at the 2024 Olympics kicks off.
Paris has been hit with a power outage only after hours they were hit with heavy downpour and transport issues, as backlash grows over their opening ceremony.
This comes after heavy showered battering the city wreaked havoc forcing several sporting events to postpone. The latest rainfall led to the reappearance of masses of brollies and rain ponchos and long lines outside Olympic stadia.

Thousands of social media users have threatened to boycott the nascent Paris Olympics after its opening ceremony was widely panned and #boycottOlympics trended on X.
