Olympic officials postpone men's triathlon due to Seine pollution
ai generated text
The men's triathlon at the Paris Olympics has been postponed due to high bacteria levels in the River Seine. Water-quality tests showed that the river was unsafe for swimming, prompting organizers to postpone the event from Tuesday to Wednesday morning.
Paris 2024 and World Triathlon reiterate that their priority is the health of the athletes. The tests carried out in Seine today revealed water quality levels that did not provide sufficient guarantees to allow the event to be held.
If there's a storm overnight that results in significant amounts of precipitation that would have an impact on water quality in the Seine.
