The women's individual triathlon competition is taking place on the Pont Alexandre III in Paris, France on the afternoon of the 31st (Korean time).

 

Heavy rain has once again worsened the water quality of the Seine, causing the triathlon training the day before the mixed relay to be canceled.

 

According to Inside the Games on the 4th, the Olympic Organizing Committee partially canceled the triathlon mixed relay training scheduled to take place on the Seine the previous morning.

 

The organizing committee announced, “The training was canceled due to the heavy rain that fell upstream of Paris over the past two days and the resulting deterioration in water quality,” and “The training will only consist of running and cycling.”

 

France invested 1.4 billion euros (about 2.1 trillion won) in improving the water quality of the Seine River ahead of the upcoming Olympics, but the water quality is not improving at all, causing headaches.

 

On top of that, heavy rain poured down from the opening ceremony, making things even worse. When it rains, the concentration of bacteria that cause infections increases significantly.

 

This is not the first time that triathlon training has been canceled due to the deterioration of the water quality of the Seine River. The men's race was also postponed once before, but the athletes' distrust remains.

 

After the men's race, Tyler Myslochuk's vomiting scene was broadcast to the world through broadcast cameras and photos, causing controversy once again. The Seine River is scheduled to host a mixed triathlon on the 5th and a marathon swimming race on the 8th and 9th. The organizers are considering a 'duathlon format' where only cycling and running events are held, excluding swimming, and a plan to hold the marathon swimming at the Vers-sur-Mer sea stadium outside Paris. 바카라게임
