Paris Olympics Face Challenges, Schedule Changes

The 2024 Paris Olympics are set to feature various sports, including golf, triathlon, and cycling, with some unexpected challenges. The men's triathlon, originally scheduled for July 30, has been postponed due to poor water quality in the River Seine, though the women's race and mixed relay remain on schedule. Golf continues to grow in its Olympic presence, with 60 men competing at Le Golf National for the third modern Olympic golf event. The cycling events have seen notable incidents, including crashes in the women's time trial and the recalibration of the schedule due to the recent Tour de France, with top cyclists like Remco Evenepoel and Filippo Ganna competing. Meanwhile, Diana Taurasi, at 42, is addressing questions about her longevity as the oldest member of Team USA’s women's basketball team. The newly adjusted cycling schedule aims to give riders adequate recovery time but presents unique challenges due to the overlap with the Tour.
