PARIS - The Paris 2024 marathon swimming event could be taking place just outside Paris should the River Seine not be suitable for bathing, organisers said on Friday."The rules of the International Triathlon Federation allow the event to be switched to a duathlon format as a last resort.
With decent weather this week in Paris, the quality of the water is expected to remain good.The French capital has been working on cleaning up the Seine so people can swim in it again, as was the case during the 1900 Paris Olympics. But a sewer problem last summer led to the cancellation of a pre-Olympics swimming event.The swimming leg of the triathlon and the marathon swimming event of the Olympics, which run from July 26 to Aug. 11, are scheduled to be held in the Seine.
