Organizers stated, 'The latest tests show a decrease in water quality in the river following the rain episodes over the last two days... not suitable for swimming...'
Health of athletes is prioritized by the Paris 2024 organizers, indicating that rigorous monitoring of water quality is crucial for such events.
