The upcoming Olympic Games event is facing uncertainty as the River Seine has once again failed a water quality test. This has raised concerns for the Australian athletes, who were scheduled to compete in a triathlon tomorrow. Due to the deteriorating condition of the river's water, a training session had to be cancelled this morning.
The decline in water quality is believed to be a result of heavy rainfall during the opening ceremony over the weekend. This has caused the officials from Paris 2024, City of Paris, and World Triathlon to make the difficult decision to postpone today's training session. However, they remain hopeful that the water quality will improve in the next 24 hours, as the forecast predicts clear weather.
If the wet weather persists, there is a possibility that the triathlon event may have to be postponed or relocated to another river in the east. This option is being considered by the organisers, who have invested a significant amount of money to clean up the River Seine in preparation for the Olympic Games. In fact, earlier this month, Mayor Anne Hidalgo even took a swim in the river to prove its cleanliness.
However, daily water quality tests conducted in June showed high levels of E. coli bacteria, which raised concerns about the safety of the river. As a result, the organisations involved in the event have been closely monitoring the situation and taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the athletes.
