The Paris Olympics were affected by the global IT outage on Friday, with organisers temporarily unable to hand out accreditations to athletes and officials arriving for the Games.
The organising committee said its operations were now running normally, with the evening hours at its accreditation centre extended to help clear a backlog of demands.
Thousands of athletes have begun flying into the French capital ahead of the July 26 to August 11 event, while the organising committee is also distributing badges and uniforms to 45,000 volunteers.
The organising committee added that the IT problems did not affect Paris airport operator ADP, but the arrival of some delegations has been impacted by delays to their flights.
Paris is adding the finishing touches to preparations for the first Olympics in the French capital in a century.
