Will the Men's Marathon Swimming competition take place in the River Seine at the 2024 Olympics?
Closed Aug 09, 2024 05:30AM UTC
France invested heavily to make the River Seine safe to use for certain swimming competitions, but E. coli levels remained elevated as of July 2024 (ESPN, ABC News). The men's competition is scheduled for 9 August 2024 (Olympics - Marathon Swimming Schedule). The question will close as of the event commencing with athletes swimming in the river, though the question would close early if use of the river is officially canceled or the event is postponed to a date after 11 August 2024.
