The scheduled swim familiarisation for Monday's mixed team triathlon is cancelled for the second day in a row at Paris 2024.
The men's triathlon, won by Team GB's Alex Yee, was delayed by a day because of the poor water quality in the River SeineThe scheduled swim familiarisation for Monday's mixed team triathlon was cancelled for the second day in a row at Paris 2024.
Olympic organisers made the decision on Sunday's session because the water quality in the River Seine had dropped back below the required standard after heavy rain towards the end of last week. Organisers expected an improvement in conditions on Sunday morning but not sufficiently to allow the practice swim to take place at 07:00 BST.The rain has increased the levels of E coli and other bacteria in the Seine, although hot weather helps to reduce the bacteria count and the temperature in Paris is forecast to reach 25C later on Sunday.
