Men’s Olympic triathlon is postponed due to concerns over water quality in Paris’ Seine River

The men’s Olympic triathlon planned for Tuesday has been postponed over concerns about water quality in Paris’ Seine River, where the swimming portion of the race was supposed to take place.

Organizers said they will try to hold the men’s triathlon Wednesday instead. The women’s competition is also scheduled on Wednesday, but both are subject to water tests. Friday is also planned as a backup date.

But Meteo-France, the French weather service, was forecasting storms Tuesday night, light rain Wednesday afternoon and storms Thursday, which could complicate rescheduling the events.

Wow the Seine might be dirty and unhygienic. That seems completely out of left field. No way to have seen this coming.

After reading several headlines about the poor water quality over the last 6-12 months, this one is perfection — chef’s kiss.

Never underestimate the commitment of the French people.

The olympic Surf competition is happening on the other side of the World in Tahiti. Are you telling me France does not have a backup lake to do this in anywhere? After 6 years of planning? Do it in lake Geneva or Étang de Berre…jfc

They did a whole thing on TV where the mayor swam in the water.
