Paris 2024 Olympics: Men’s triathlon postponed over poor water quality | BBC News

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.
