shyboi Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) Bad planning. Apparently there's no plan B because it was the French government's dream that the swimming would take place in the Seine after spending 1.5 billion to clean it. Levels of E. coli — an indicator of fecal matter — Are 10 times higher the safe limit. The statement said the organizers could move the race to Friday as a contingency, if needed. "Paris 2024 and World Triathlon reiterate that their priority is the health of the athletes," the statement said, referring to the organizers of the Games. Ahead of the Olympics, the city of Paris and local water agencies spent about $1.5 billion to clean up the Seine, retrofitting an antiquated sewer system that overflows into the river when it is overwhelmed by heavy rain. As part of the upgrades, the city built a massive underground basin to hold stormwater for treatment.

Sawk Posted July 30 Posted July 30 I heard the French were throwing sh*t in it on purpose to f*ck up the games, nasty if you ask me 1 1 2
mike_int Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Literally every bigger city river is full of different type of bacterias, including e-coli, plus chemicals etc. plus with heavy rain due to pressure in canalization it can get even higher. It was bad idea from the start 2
