The recent rain in Paris has caused water quality concerns in the River Seine, affecting the triathlon competition scheduled to take place during the Paris 2024 Olympics. Despite efforts to clean up the river for the event, heavy rains have led to a spike in pollution levels, prompting organizers to cancel training sessions for athletes.
Swimming in the Seine has been prohibited for a century, making the decision to include it as part of the triathlon course a controversial one. However, organizers were determined to showcase the host city and its iconic river to the world.
