Paris Games Prep: Duathlon Switch for Paris Test-Event Relay due to Water Quality Concerns

2023-08-20 06:10:24

Bis repeated. As with the paratriathlon event on Saturday, the mixed relay of the Paris test-event, serving as preparation for the Paris Games next year, has been transformed into a duathlon (running and cycling) due to the poor water quality of the Seine this Sunday.

At the Olympic Games, it will not be possible to modify the content of the event by removing swimming, but the date of the competition may be postponed if necessary.

The composition of the French relay does not change, in the absence of swimming: Dorian Coninx, Cassandre Beaugrand, Léo Bergère and Emma Lombardi defend the French chances.
