These three distinct courses promise to be particularly demanding from a sporting point of view and will highlight some of the capital’s most beautiful monuments. Their starting point will be a floating pontoon positioned at the foot of the Alexandre III bridge (on which will be installed a 1,000-seat grandstand) where spectators can take their places to watch the departures and arrivals as well as the transition zone (between the different disciplines) for a spectacle that the organization promises to be “breathtaking”.
In the heart of Paris with its most beautiful monuments as a backdrop
As part of these events, some of the most beautiful monuments and emblematic places of Paris will therefore be honoured. After their swimming test in the Seine, the athletes will have the opportunity to see, on the cycling or running route, the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the National Assembly, the Musée d’Orsay, to take the Avenue des Champs-Elysées (seeing the Arc de Triomphe in your line of sight ), avenue Montaigne, the Quais d’Orsay and Anatole France or boulevard Saint-Germain.
“With the swimming event in the Seine, these triathlons and para triathlons will finally contribute to leaving a legacy for the region and the population of the Ile-de-France region, with the swimmability of the Seine and the Marne, which was a strong ambition from the candidacy. Once again, we will be amazed, and we can’t wait to see the athletes on this magnificent playground. sums up Tony Estanguet, president of Paris 2024. “The Seine will be at the heart of the Paris 2024 project, for these Games of a new era which will allow ultimately the opening of bathing sites for the general public from summer 2025 announces for his part Pierre Rabadan, Deputy Mayor of Paris in charge of sport, the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Seine. “Having the chance to perform at home, in a postcard decor, it makes you want! We can’t wait to be there” admits Léonie Périault, triple world champion in the mixed relay and bronze medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in the mixed relay.
