The women’s and men’s Olympic triathlons are set to proceed on Wednesday morning in Paris for the 2024 Olympics, as confirmed by organizers and World Triathlon. The events were initially in doubt due to concerns over poor water quality levels in the River Seine, which had led to the cancellation of several training swims and the postponement of the men’s triathlon that was originally scheduled for Tuesday.
However, following the latest water analyses received at 3:20 a.m., it has been determined that the water quality is now compliant with the required standards set by World Triathlon. This positive development has paved the way for the women’s and men’s triathlons to go ahead as planned on July 31st, with the women's event scheduled for 8 a.m. and the men's event at 10:45 a.m.
