The Paris 2024 triathlon is currently battling unpredictable weather, leaving athletes and organizers on edge. Over the past 24 hours, heavy rain has disrupted preparations, forcing the cancellation of Sunday's practice session due to safety concerns about the River Seine's water quality. 🌧️
Organizers are hopeful that the weather will clear in the coming days, allowing the swim section of the triathlon to proceed as planned on Tuesday. However, if conditions do not improve, the event may be downsized to a duathlon, consisting of just cycling and running. 🚴♂️🏃♂️
