Paris 2024 Olympic Open Water Test Event Canceled Due to Seine River Pollution
The Open Water Swimming World Cup event in Paris, which also serves as a test run for the Paris 2024 Olympics, has been postponed due to poor water quality in the River Seine caused by heavy rainfall. The women's 10km race has been rescheduled for Sunday, along with the men's 10km. The decision was made in consultation with public health authorities and event partners. Paris 2024 organizers are working on measures to address pollution in the river before the Olympics next summer.
