Second Paris Olympics Swimming Test Event Canceled Due to Poor Water Quality


Paris Olympics organizers have canceled a paratriathlon swimming test event in the Seine River due to poor water quality.

The event was supposed to take place on Saturday, but it was canceled after tests showed that the water was not safe for swimmers. The water quality was affected by recent rainfall, which caused overflows of untreated waste into the river.

This is the second time that a swimming test event in the Seine has been canceled due to poor water quality. A previous test event was canceled in July for the same reason.

The poor water quality in the Seine is a major concern for Paris Olympics organizers. They are working to improve the water quality before the Olympics, but it is a challenge. The Seine is a heavily polluted river, and it is difficult to keep it clean.

The cancellation of the swimming test event is a setback for Paris Olympics organizers. They need to ensure that the water quality in the Seine is safe for athletes before the Olympics. If the water quality is not safe, it could force organizers to move the swimming events to another location.
