Description
"We are very pleased that the competition could take place as expected," says Paris Olympics 2024 spokeswoman Anne Descamps as the women triathletes dived into the River Seine on Wednesday, providing huge relief for organisers after problems with water quality marred the run-up to the competition. Organisers were forced to cancel training this week in the river and postponed the men's race on Tuesday after the Seine was found to be too dirty for athletes following rainstorms last week.
