Men’s event postponed until 8.45am on Wednesday 31 July. Women’s still due to take place at 8.00am on that day also. Contingencies remain in place for dates in August.

Just about to post the same thing, but my version of the story has women going off at 08:00 Paris Time as scheduled, but the men afterwards at 10:45, so not simultanously.

Thunder in the forecasts today. Guess we should prepare for duathlons tomorrow?

Think they have room for one more postponement.

At this point just make it a duathlon and get it over with, the mixed relay isn't that far away and it's not really fair on the athletes not knowing when they will compete.

Changing sport? 

Well, if no other option left...

But swimming is essential part. 

Most interesting of all 3, IMO.

Exactly, they’re obviously just going for the Hail Mary pass now, damage is done.

Yeah. Read that kater, 

 

But no rain to talk about. Hope that was enough. A postponement would screw up my schedule and would hate to get up early for nothing

If tomorrow doesn't work, 2 August is the backup with 8 different scenarions, some of which include a duathlon option. That's what the coaches have been told, at least.

Better scrap the mixed relay if that improves the chances of having the two individual races done somehow. Not sure if it does though
