Concerns over the water quality of the River Seine continue, as the athlete's familiarization training sessions for the 10k open swim events were cancelled on Tuesday. The women's race is scheduled to take place on Thursday, with the men's event on Friday.
Water quality assessments on the river revealed that the levels of Enterococci were above the maximum threshold set by the World Aquatics body. Enterococci is an indicator of faecal pollution.
