Although the searing sun struck Paris and the Olympics on July 30 2024, tourists and Parisians, desperate to cool off, were not keen to swim in the River Seine. The men’s triathlon at the Paris Olympics has been postponed as pollution levels in the Seine remained too high, World Triathlon said, leaving organizers and athletes facing uncertainty. The race was postponed to Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. local time (0845 GMT), immediately after the women’s event, which is scheduled for 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) that day. France has invested 1.4 billion (1.3 billion euros) in a new wastewater infrastructure to contain sewage and minimize spillage into the river.
