Good morning Australia, from Paris. Would you swim in the Seine? Asking for a friend. At around 3:30am Paris time (in about five hours from now), officials will get the latest e-coli levels from the Seine so they can decide whether both the women's and men's triathlon events can take place. If not, the Olympic triathlon will become an Olympic duathlon. Officials have done all they could - including spending around AUD2.2 billion on cleaning the river up as part of the Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 legacy program. But what do you do, when the entire average rainfall for July buckets down in one 36 hour period? #Olympics #Paris2024 #triathlon #duathlon #climatechange #weather

OLYMPIC TRIATHLON - WILL IT HAPPEN IN THE SEINE?

Ambition meets reality. Feel for the athletes who have timed their preparation to the minute.

Are there no alternatives? A pool or nearby river that’s clean?

Seine has been a cesspit for a 100 years. Like swimming at Marboura.

Good morning - no thanks, but I'd love to swim in a cleaned up Seine!
