Heavy rain during #Paris2024 could pose challenges for Olympic and Paralympic events in the River Seine. 🏊
> Two Paris test events were called off earlier in August 2023 because of water quality issues, and Olympic races may need to be rescheduled if the Seine does not meet required standards next summer.
> Rainwater will be collected in a new storage basin and only allowed into the river after meeting strict health criteria, organisers told the BBC.
> To ensure the safety of athletes swimming in the Seine, daily water testing will be carried out during the Games.
> But cleaning up the river for the games has already returned pollution to “pre-industrial era” levels - and also accelerated plans to open three new quayside swimming areas for public use from 2025.
