How can they even think about having an olympic triathlon without swimming if the Seine water qualify is too bad? Then it is another sport. Better than to find another spot or have time trial in the swimming pool followed by a pursuit in duathlon. World idea than too have a 28 km long 50 km cross country skiing as in Beijing

To  be fair, in Beijing it was a matter of extreme weather and real force majeure, the Seine problem has been known for a long, long time now..

Seemingly the excuse is that the ITU’s own rules do recognise a duathlon as being legit in case of etc etc.  And I guess the organisers have promised a certain number of gratis-to-the public events.  But you’re right, they’ve had a whole year to sort out Plan B.

More about the water quality issue.  You've probably seen elsewhere that swim training has had to be cancelled.  However, according to this BBC story, the horrible, terrible, awful idea of going to a duathlon has been dropped.  Options now are to either postpone one or more races, or to transfer the whole show to some pretty, impressionist painting-type village well upstream from major population centres, industrial chemical factories or slaughterhouses.  

 

Should the water quality not reach the required standard, the triathlon events could be postponed for a few days or moved to Vaires-sur-Marne, on the Marne river east of Paris.

Today's trainings have also been cancelled, because it's still too gross.

What will happen in the final event? Will they scrap the swimming part?

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
