Major Problem: The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris are having a very bad time because the Seine River’s water quality is so bad that the Olympic triathlon swimming training practice has been canceled for the second day in a row.
Due to pollution and bad water quality, swimming in the Seine River has been banned for more than one hundred years. However, Paris spent $1.5 billion to clean the water for the triathlon and marathon swimming events. But the recent heavy rains have raised the number of germs, which is why this isn’t happening.
During a meeting on Monday about water quality, it was decided that the swim part of the triathlon familiarization that was supposed to happen on July 29 at 8 a.m. would not happen. This was stated in a joint statement from the organizers of Paris 2024 and the World Triathlon governing body, according to Yahoo Sports.

“Paris 2024 and the World Triathlon make it clear that the athletes’ health comes first.” Sunday’s tests in the Seine showed levels of water quality that, in the opinion of the world governing body for triathlon, were not safe enough to allow the event to happen.
There is a pretty big problem with this. On Sunday and Monday, the races were canceled, but they were just training practices. The men’s triathlon starts on Tuesday, and the women’s on Wednesday. Then we’ll have to check to see if the river is safe enough to swim in.
