“Not Sure”. What’s Happening – The Weather

Rough waters (and not only) in Paris. After welcoming Gianmarco Tamberi’s wedding ring into its bed, the Italian who lost his ring during the opening ceremony perhaps due to too much enthusiasm, the Seine has not found peace. Although it has been laboriously returned to being swimmable for the Olympics thanks to months of efforts, the first training session in the water of the triathlon has been canceled because the pollution level of the city’s river was found to be “unsafe” for the health of the athletes. The organizers of the Games reported this, claiming that the rains that fell on Friday and Saturday in Paris had increased the pollution level of the river.

For this reason, the organizing committee, the international triathlon federation and the local authorities have taken the “joint decision to cancel the swimming part of the triathlon” scheduled for Sunday because “the water level does not present sufficient guarantees”, they said in a joint statement. The Committee remains “confident” that training can take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. In the meantime, the debate remains lively and the opening ceremony is still being discussed, which has surprised but also raised some doubts among spectators. In particular, what has outraged many (including bishops) was the artistic choice to transform the Last Supper into an exaltation of woke culture with drag queens. Christianity “has been mocked”, they chanted in tones full of anger.
