Triathlon

This is the first of two major events today. The first goes out in two waves.

The Olympic wave took off in the morning with a one and a half kilometer swim, a 35K bike ride and then running a 10K.

Americans Seth Rider, Taylor Spivey, Morgan Pearson and Taylor Knibb took silver in Sunday’s mixed relay triathlon.

The statement did not elaborate on Claire Michel’s illness, nor directly tie it to her swim in the Seine, but it comes after concerns over the river’s water quality have plagued organizers.

The 2024 Paris Olympics have made headlines for the Seine River water quality in the triathlon events.

Yee now holds three Olympic triathlon medals and ties former teammate Jonny Brownlee for the most triathlon medals in Olympic history.

Wednesday’s triathlon events were held as planned with athletes competing in the Seine. Here’s a look at the swimmers diving into the river.

The men’s triathlon at the Paris Olympics will not go ahead as planned on Tuesday as pollution levels in the Seine remain too high.

After the men’s triathlon was postponed on Tuesday, there’s an increasing possibility that the event might have to be tweaked.

After two days of heavy rain in Paris, Olympic organizers had to cancel the pre-race familiarization swim for triathletes on Sunday.

2020 mixed relay silver medalist Morgan Pearson will be joined by Taylor Knibb and first-time Olympians Taylor Spivey, Kirsten Kasper, and Seth Rider.

Paris 2024 organizers say they are confident the triathlon events will take place as scheduled on Tuesday, despite the possibility of Sunday’s swimming training session being cancelled due to concerns over the Seine’s water quality.
