On June 18, 2024, at 8:58 am, public television reported that Taiwanese athletes heading to the Paris Olympics will have access to a variety of Taiwanese dishes like beef noodles, salt and pepper chicken, and Taiwanese sausages at the relay stations. Sponsored by a Taiwanese food group specializing in frozen prepared foods, they have customized seasonings to eliminate ingredients like cloves, which are banned in sports. The relay stations will also have chefs from the National Training Center preparing fresh vegetables purchased locally. In addition to dietary support, this initiative includes a sports center and a physical therapy facility, with the sports center being a breakthrough as it was rented for free with the help of the Taipei Representative Office in France.
