- 1:23Olympic triathlon goes ahead after Seine passes water testsReuters VideosSTORY: Triathletes at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday were cheered on by a delighted crowd, as the hosts' gamble to hold the swim stage of the race in the Seine paid off. The Seine finally passed river water tests, ending days of uncertainty over whether the central Paris swim was viable after rainfall caused a rise in concentrations of infection-causing bacteria, like E. coli. The decision to postpone the men's race at the last minute on Tuesday triggered anger among some athletes. Belgium's Marten Van Riel wrote on World Triathlon's Instagram page. "If the priority was the health of the athletes this event would have been moved to another location a long time ago." The races going ahead will have come as a relief for Paris authorities who have promised residents a swimmable Seine as a long-term legacy of the Games, with the triathlon a very public test. The gamble that the river would be clean enough was never guaranteed to pay off as water quality varies widely day-to-day. Paris has spent $1.52 billion of public money on wastewater infrastructure to contain sewage and minimize spillage into the river. Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a dip earlier this month in a bid to convince doubters that the water will not make them ill.1 hour ago
