Competition has officially begun in the women’s triathlon, with athletes swimming in the River Seine. The poor water quality levels in the river have been a cause for concern, leading to the cancellation of numerous training sessions. This issue ultimately forced the postponement of the men’s triathlon, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday.
The men’s triathlon is now set to take place on Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. in the French capital, following the women’s event. The decision to delay the men’s triathlon was made in the interest of the athletes' safety and well-being, as ensuring suitable conditions for the competition is paramount.
Despite the challenges posed by the water quality in the River Seine, the women’s triathlon has kicked off successfully, showcasing the determination and skill of the participating athletes. Spectators and fans eagerly await the men’s triathlon, which promises to be an exciting event once it takes place.
