There is no good news coming from Paris on the “cross-country swimming competitions for the Olympics” front. The Five Circles review in the aforementioned specialty will have as theater the waters of the Seinebut apparently i Bathability tests were unsuccessful.
As reported by Inside the Gamesthe new reservoir just inaugurated would still be too polluted to compete in the Olympic trials. The intense rains of recent days, which are also significantly influencing the development of Roland Garroshave further worsened the quality of the water. An aspect highlighted among other things during the last stage of the World Cup in Golfo Aranci by the manager of the Italian national team, Stefano Rubaudo.
A critical situation, also considering the fact that the organizers of the Games plan to use the river as a hub for the opening ceremony. A project aimed at creating five bathing places for Parisians, offering them an alternative during the summer. In the current state of affairs iPlan B, which Rubaudo had spoken of, only provides for a postponement of the events by a few days, but not a change of venue. All that remains is to wait.
We remember that the problem of the pollution of the Seine had led to the cancellation of the pre-Olympic competition last year of the World Cup in the French capital.
