(Reuters) - Canada may be sending one of their biggest Olympics teams to the Tokyo Games but only a small fraction will attend the opening ceremony, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) said on Thursday.

Around 30-40 athletes from the 370-strong team will be at Friday's event in a largely empty Tokyo Olympic stadium, bar a few hundred officials.
