Team Singapore Athletes Take Train to Nagoya After Typhoon Dujuan Diverts Travel

Two Team Singapore athletes heading to the Asian Games in Japan were rerouted to Nagoya by train after Typhoon Dujuan disrupted regional transport networks on Sept. 21, 2026. Despite the localized disruption, organizers and officials confirmed that the vast majority of travel plans for the contingent remain unchanged ahead of the international competition.

The rail diversion affected athletes navigating regional transit lines as severe weather swept across parts of the country. According to travel updates monitored by regional transport authorities, the storm impacted standard routing between major transit hubs, requiring alternative overland connections for arriving delegations.

Transportation logistics for the broader delegation are proceeding as scheduled. National sports authorities indicated that contingency plans established prior to the Games have kept the rest of the traveling athletes on track for their arrival in Japan.

Competitors arriving via Nagoya are expected to rejoin the main contingent following their overland transit. Officials continue to monitor weather advisories across the region as teams complete their final arrivals for the opening events of the Asian Games.
