Jul 31, 2024, 02:41 AM

Paris 2024 Olympic organizers have confirmed that the men's and women's triathlon events will proceed on Wednesday after the latest water quality tests showed lower levels of bacteria in the Seine River. This decision comes after days of uncertainty and delays due to concerns over water contamination following heavy rains. The men's triathlon had previously been postponed, and athletes were unable to train in the river due to high bacteria levels. The latest tests have now deemed the Seine safe for the Olympic triathlons. The male event was postponed due to water contamination.
