Originally scheduled for Tuesday, the men's triathlon at the Paris 2024 Olympics has been postponed to Wednesday due to poor water quality levels in the River Seine, Olympic officials announced.
The E.coli levels remained too elevated for athletes to safely compete.
The decision is a blow to organisers who previously said they were confident water quality would improve in time for the race after heavy rains last Friday and Saturday dirtied the river.
The 55 triathletes who were primed to compete on Tuesday now face more uncertainty.
