Paris 2024 Olympics Faces Challenges as Seine Pollution Cancels Triathlon Training for Second Day Due to E. coli
Jul 29, 2024, 11:59 AM
The Paris 2024 Olympics is facing significant challenges due to water pollution in the River Seine, which has led to the cancellation of triathlon training sessions for the second day. Heavy rains have caused bacteria levels, including E. coli, to rise, making the water unsafe for swimming. Despite a $1.5 billion (1.4 billion euros) effort to clean the river, recent tests showed the water quality is still below the required standards. Olympic organizers remain hopeful that conditions will improve, but there is a possibility that the swimming portion of the triathlon may be canceled or turned into a biathlon. The situation has sparked criticism and concerns about the overall preparedness and environmental management for the Games.
