The Olympic men’s individual triathlon at Paris 2024 has been postponed after tests revealed water quality in the River Seine did not reach the required standard.
The race was due to start at 07:00 BST (08:00 local time) on Tuesday and will now take place on Wednesday at 09:45 BST (10:45 local time), following the conclusion of the women’s event.
Swimming training sessions were cancelled on Sunday and Monday because of the water quality, which was impacted by recent heavy rainfall.

Well, it IS France
Interesting Brazil Carnival Christ was mocked and something similar happened (in 2 carnivals)
Frande does mock Christ and something similar happens. CHRIST CANT BE MOCKED 💪❤️. HE IS COMING SOON. BETTER TO REPENT BEFORE IS LATE.
😮😮😮😮😮
Lol they are swimming in the Paris toilet.
I can’t understand why they won’t have the swimming portion of the triathlon at the swimming pool. All the swimming competitions are over. I know it’s not the same as having it in the river, but it’s better than nothing. And they won’t have to worry about any of the athletes getting sick.
He keep saying the weather. Dude that shit was bad long ago. Tf u mean the weather plays a part 😩😂🤦🏾♀️
Why does the presenter sound so strange?
Didnt the French sprend 00s of millions cleaning the river ???? Where did that go .. hope the French taxpayers are happy with the spending .. 😏
France is the China of Europe. It's not a place for sane people to go.
bro what the sh*t
E. Coli will held party soon
The water quality of this river is very unstable. It changes from day to day, if not from hour to hour. If the Seine river hasn’t been consistently safe for at least a year, nobody should go in there.
Can the BBC sport editorial team take a dip in it? It might show them that truth should be reported. Also they may report on the turds floating down from the immigrant encampments along the banks….. Report the truth instead of glossing over the facts.
What a man! The BBC are Transphobic bruh.
Swimming In shit is worst then covid i think.
Swimming is french poop….nasty.,,, no medal is worth swimming in shit…
“Recent rainfall” lmao ok is that what we’re calling it
Don’t ever do Olympics in Paris again lol
Paris Olympics is rubbish,
I asked a Frenchman what is in the river that flows through Paris, his response… wee wee and poo poo!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's a pity that India doesn't have any athletes in the triathlon, otherwise it would have a huge advantage in the field.
france is the "chyna of europe"….that is not a compliment
Oh my gosh. This is just another line item on the very long list of why Paris was a very unsuitable choice for the Olympics. Their "green" policies have driven out Olympians from staying in the Olympic village due to small, uncomfortable cardboard beds (not kidding), thermostats being turned up making the rooms too hot to sleep in, not enough bathrooms for the athletes, food shortages resulting in meat and eggs rationing. And that's not even taking into account the embarrassing opening ceremonies which should have never been approved.
パリオリンピックの柔道の審判の質とセーヌ川の質とどちらが上ですか?
SURPRISED?????? ( french and ex Paris résident)
Maybe .. they postponed it because of Lilith ? .. hmm
How can they do the triathlon swim in this disgusting river?
Disgusting! 🤢🤮
You mocked Christ. You will know who is the master of all creation.
To swim in that river you have to be in Seine
put one and a half billion in your pocket and then say that two days of rain polluted the Seine. profit!
For God sake, how would they know that this will happen! Nature does it's thing and well super done France for such a brilliant show so far.
When you mock Christians you reap the sh.t from the backside.
I don’t wanna drink Evian water anymore.
Than why do the sewers end in the river?
Let women wear hijabs if they want to and don’t force olympian swimmers in a dirty river for the photo op.
It's not true, it's because of the river sharks 😢.
LA river next !
Haven't watched one second I'm proud to say, deviants promotion
Freak shows, cardboard box beds, competing in a polluted river. Only Macron could invest in such a ridiculous spectacle.
france is embarrassing
worst olympics ever
Rats! They deserve it. A dirty filthy city not to mention ungodly.
Olympic commitee are worried that a turd might get the gold medal😃😃😃😃
This is good maybe they learn same manners of life.
Paris Woke Olympics with their cardboard beds and vegan food and satanic ceremonies – worst games ever.
When the British implemented the poo seas and rivers one knew it was about time before others started copying
Seems Paris is copying London’s poo seas and rivers policies
hahahahaha..Migrant p00p
This Olympic had failed from the start.
More news of the games going well then… It's been a trainwreck with the doping, shite beds in the village, people getting disqualified and then this. XDD what a polava
