The Hollywood Reporter reported that the men’s race, which had been scheduled for Tuesday due to concerns about the Seine river’s pollution, had been postponed just hours before the start.
Early morning last-minute tests revealed the liquid quality was” still above the appropriate limits” for Tuesday’s competition to get away, as heavy rainfall in the European funds has dirtied the river, meaning it was not in swimming conditions.
A speech from the Paris Olympic 2024 organizing council and World Triathlon said:” However, weather events beyond our control, such as the rain which fell over Paris on 26 and 27 July, can affect water quality and convince us to cancel the event for health reasons. The water quality levels that were tested now in the Seine did not offer enough guarantees for the event to take place.
The float course’s readings are still above the acceptable limits, despite the advancement in the water quality levels in the last few hours. We will provide all information regarding the men’s racing competition’s delay as well as current information on the situation for the athletes who are scheduled to compete in it.
The contest had been scheduled for an 8 a. m. nearby day stop on Tuesday night. It’s a blow for organizers, who spent around €1.5 billion ($ 1.6 billion ) on cleaning up the river for the Olympics. With more rains and winds forecast for later this year, they rescheduled the competition for 10: 45 a. m. Paris day on Wednesday.
