French sports minister plunged into filthy waters ahead of Olympics

French sports minister plunged into filthy waters ahead of Olympics French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera took a swim in Paris’ Seine River two weeks before the Olympic Games, in a desperate bid to prove the river’s sanitary readiness. Local authorities and the media have repeatedly been alerted to the Seine’s “dangerously high levels of sewage, wastewater, and even fecal matter.“ The 2023 World Triathlon Olympic Games Test Event canceled its swimming segment in the Seine due to appalling water quality. A cruise featuring Olympic delegations was reportedly canceled this month, after new water analyses by Paris City Hall confirmed “dangerous concentrations of fecal bacteria.“ Subscribe to [club80289214|@SputnikInt] Source: Sputnik International
