The inaugural practice for athletes competing in the triathlon at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games was cancelled on Sunday. Organizers made the decision to call off the session due to concerns about water quality in the River Seine, which has possibly been affected by recent rain.
After a meeting "on the water quality" and tests, "a joint decision was taken to cancel the swimming part of the triathlon orientation," AFP quoted from a Paris 2024 and World Triathlon statement.
