PARIS, July 31, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The Olympic men's and women's triathlon events will go ahead on Wednesday, World Triathlon and the Paris Games' organising committee said, the day after the men's event had been postponed because of pollution in the Seine river.

"The parties involved have confirmed that the women's triathlon and the men's triathlon will take place as planned. The results of the latest water analyses have been deemed to be in order," said a statement early Wednesday.
