The men’s Olympic triathlon in Paris has been postponed due to concerns about water quality in the Seine River, where the swimming portion was set to take place. Organizers aim to reschedule the event for Wednesday, pending water tests. Heavy rains have raised E. coli levels in the river, prompting the cancellation of training events. Efforts to improve water quality in the Seine have been ongoing, with daily tests monitoring bacteria levels. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and others have taken a public swim in the river to showcase improvements.
