TAIPEI, Jan 29 ― Taiwan's small team for next month's Winter Olympics in Beijing will not take part in the opening or closing ceremonies, the government said yesterday, blaming delayed flights, tough anti-Covid-19 rules and an early departure.

The government, which has said no officials will go, has now decided its athletes will be at neither the opening nor closing ceremonies. Because the team is small, they will not wait around after their events are over and will go home, meaning on the day of the closing ceremony most will already have left, and they will not be there, it said.
