The men's Olympic triathlon swimming leg in the River Seine has been postponed from Tuesday to Wednesday due to high bacteria levels. Heavy rainfall last weekend polluted the river, exceeding safe limits. The women's event will proceed as scheduled on Wednesday at 8am, followed by the men's event at 10:45am. If the water remains unsafe, the event may be rescheduled for August 2. The postponement adds to concerns about athlete safety, with a heatwave forecasted to hit 35 degrees on Wednesday, potentially impacting performance. Officials aim to ensure a safe competition environment.
