E. coli levels should stay at or below 900 colony-forming units per 100 milliliters for “sufficient” water quality, according to World Triathlon. Only 1 of 4 test sites along the Seine showed levels below that limit, AP reports.

Training events had already been postponed with elevated bacteria levels following the downpour over the opening ceremony. Heavy rain can overwhelm sewage and wastewater systems, allowing untreated water to reach the river.

There’s more rain in the forecast for Paris tonight. But for now, both the women’s and the men’s triathlon events are scheduled for Wednesday at 8AM and 10:45AM local time, respectively. There’s also a backup date of August 2nd.

Seems to be pretty shitty odds of this happening on Wednesday

Even if they did clear it up by then I wouldn’t want to swim in it. That’s like swimming in the toilet right after you flushed it. There is still probably residue or something. Gross lol

It’s a river though, it’s never going to be all that clean. Yea they should wait till it follows to regulation required levels but expecting it to be anything near clean is unreasonable

But when they said this WASN’T the case before the games started, did that not change reality to match?EDIT: I stand corrected

It rained. They did specifically call out that if there was enough rain it would basically ruin this whole thing anyways. They got something like 2/3 weeks worth of rain in a single day over the weekend.
