The men's and women's triathlons at the Paris 2024 Olympics have been approved to proceed after recent water tests indicated lower bacteria levels in the River Seine. Initially set for Tuesday, the men's event was postponed due to pollution concerns following heavy rainfall, which had raised E. Coli levels. A joint statement from Paris 2024 and World Triathlon confirmed the races would go ahead, bringing relief to athletes and organizers alike. The women's triathlon is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. local time, followed by the men's at 10:45 a.m. Home favorite Léon Marchand aims for additional gold medals after winning the men's 400m individual medley, while the triathlons mark a significant milestone towards the goal of a swimmable Seine as a legacy of the Games.
