Organizers cleared the 2024 Paris Olympics women’s and men’s triathlons to go ahead on Wednesday after the latest water tests on the Seine river showed lower levels of bacteria, ending days of uncertainty over whether the central Paris swim was viable after heavy rains.

The men’s triathlon had been scheduled to take place on Tuesday but was postponed until Wednesday after the river failed water quality tests. — Reuters
