Paris Games Face Uncertainty with Triathlon Postponed Due to Pollution

Posted : 30 July 2024

The main concern at the Paris Olympics is whether the triathlon events will proceed as planned after the men's race was postponed due to high pollution levels in the Seine River. The triathlons for both men and women are now rescheduled to take place on Wednesday, alongside a busy day featuring 20 gold medals in 11 different sports. However, the first surfing gold medals, which were slated to be awarded in Tahiti, have been postponed due to adverse weather conditions that cancelled the sessions on Monday and Tuesday.

 

The triathlon events are set to begin with the women's race at 8:00 a.m., followed by the men’s race at 10:45 a.m., contingent on whether the pollution levels are deemed acceptable. Weather forecasts predict thunderstorms overnight, which could further impact the schedule. Key competitors include France's Cassandre Beaugrand, Britain's Beth Potter and Georgia Taylor-Brown, and Bermuda's defending champion Flora Duffy.

 

In swimming, five gold medals will be contested at La Defense Arena, including in the men's 100 meters freestyle, 200 butterfly, and 200 breaststroke, as well as the women's 100 freestyle. The spotlight will be on Katie Ledecky in the women's 1,500 freestyle, where she aims to tie the record for the most Olympic medals won by an American woman, with her 12th medal.

 

The gymnastics events will showcase the top male gymnasts at Bercy Arena, with China's Zhang Boheng and Japan's Daiki Hashimoto competing for medals. In rowing, the first medals will be awarded in the men’s and women’s quadruple sculls, while the women's single slalom gold in canoeing will be decided at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

 

Football group games will conclude with key matches involving France, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Japan, all vying for a spot in the quarterfinals. Additionally, badminton singles rounds, judo competitions, and basketball games will offer further opportunities for medals and standout performances.
