Water quality fits
Its clean! Green light for triathlon events
The water quality in the Seine has apparently improved sufficiently: the triathlon events at the Summer Olympics in Paris can now take place on Wednesday as planned. Due to poor water quality in the river, the men's competition originally planned for Tuesday had been postponed to Wednesday.
At 3.30 a.m., as on Tuesday night, officials from the International Triathlon Union (ITU) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as well as meteorologists and Paris city officials met for a technical meeting to analyze the data and make a decision. This time, the green light was given. The last tests of the Seine water had shown lower concentrations of bacteria.
On Wednesday, the women's competition with Julia Hauser and Lisa Perterer is scheduled to start at 08:00, followed by the men's race at 10:45. Alois Knabl and Tjebbe Kaindl will be competing in the men's triathlon for Austria.
