France's Seine River Too Polluted, Olympics Triathlon Training Cancelled
Olympic organisers cancelled part of the triathlon training in the River Seine planned for Saturday, saying heavy rain was likely to have made the waterway too polluted to swim in. Only the running and cycling elements of the triathlon mixed relay training will take place, Paris 2024 organisers announced in a statement. Training was scrapped due to "the heavy rain over the last two nights, which have been particularly intense upstream of Paris, and the expected drop in water quality as a result."
