Paris, France — Olympic organizers canceled part of the triathlon training in the River Seine planned for Saturday, saying heavy rain was likely to have made the waterway too polluted to swim in.
Training was scrapped due to “the heavy rain over the last two nights, which have been particularly intense upstream of Paris, and the expected drop in water quality as a result.” But heavy downpours still overwhelm the city’s underground drains and sewage system, leading to untreated effluent being released into the waterway.
