PARIS: French swimming sensation Leon Marchand bids for two more Olympic golds in the pool on Wednesday as organizers declared the River Seine was clean enough to stage both triathlons.
The men’s and women’s triathlons were given the green light a day after the men’s event had been postponed because of pollution levels in the Paris waterway.
“The results of the latest water analyzes have been deemed to be in order,” said a statement from World Triathlon and the Paris Games’ organizing committee early Wednesday, ending an anxious wait for athletes.
