Paris Mayor Anna Hidalgo swims in the Seine River to prove to the public that the water quality of the
Seine River is “clean enough” to ensure that the aquatic events of the Paris Olympics will take place,
17 July 2024 in Paris, France. Visual China Figure On the morning of 5 August, the triathlon
team competition started. However, Belgium and Switzerlandhave made temporary personnel adjustments before the race, Belgium even had to withdraw from
the race. The reason for this is that some members of the team are suffering from gastrointestinal
discomfort. This news came out, public opinion once again exploded – is it still because of the Seine
River water quality problems led to athletes sick?
Although the organisers as well as the Paris city government have repeatedly stressed that the water
quality of the Seine River is not a problem and meets the standards. However, Parisians still see
rubbish and foam in the Seine every day. These coincidental news naturally make people still have
doubts about the water quality of the Seine.
