Paris 2024 Olympic organizers have canceled a second day of triathlon training in the River Seine due to pollution from recent heavy rainfall. The decision affects Monday's planned session, following a similar cancellation on Sunday. Paris 2024 and World Triathlon officials stated that water quality did not meet safety standards. Despite the setbacks, they remain confident that the triathlon events, beginning Tuesday with the men's individual race, will proceed as scheduled. The Seine's water quality is impacted by rain-induced sewage discharges, but forecasts suggest improvements before the competitions. If necessary, alternative venues will be used.
