Controversy in the Seine
The Paris 2024 organising committee has defended its communication on the quality of the water in the Seine, saying that triathletes had been informed of the results of the analyses before the mixed relay on Monday morning.
The organising committee explained that after two training sessions this weekend were cancelled because the Seine was not clean enough, the International Triathlon Federation (World Triathlon) decided on Sunday evening to continue the race on Monday, in which Germany won gold. The Belgian mixed team did not compete in this race, because its triathlete Claire Michel fell ill after taking part in the individual women’s race on the Seine on 31 July.
