Subject of emergency alert message arrested - May 2, 2024 | SaltWire #dartmouth #update #suspectPARIS - British Triathlon has a been-there, done-that attitude when it comes to water quality issues in the leadup to big competitions and trusts French authorities to deliver a safe Olympics amid concerns about pollution levels in the River Seine.

"So, in Tokyo, it was all about the heat of the water. There were water quality issues in Rio. So this isn't new for us. And everywhere we go outside of the Olympic and Paralympic Games again, we are almost always dealing with something in the natural world that means that, environmentally, we've got some challenges.

The independent tests they ran, however, were conducted outside the summer - the period when the river is supposed to be batheable at the 2024 Paris Games and next year for the general public."We ask the authorities to continue to give access to the riverbanks, to be able to continue to collect samples," Lucie Segalas, the Surfrider Foundation's Sports and Environment project manager, told Reuters.
