The Olympic women's and men's triathlon races will take place in the Seine River on Wednesday. Despite initial concerns over water quality, latest tests show compliance with standards. A €1.4 billion cleanup effort was undertaken to improve the river's water quality. Elevated bacteria levels had caused a one-day delay in the men's race. Test events were canceled on Sunday and Monday due to water quality issues. The decision to proceed with the Seine swim is a significant milestone for the Paris Olympics and the city's efforts to revitalize its iconic river.
