The River Seine fell short yesterday, leading to a last minute cancellation.

The Men’s Triathlon was postponed due to the poor water quality in the river, after the cancellation of two prior training sessions.

They’ve moved the event from 6pm last night to 8:45pm tomorrow, after the Women’s Triathlon.

Michael Burgess, NZ Herald Sports Reporter, told Ryan Bridge that Friday is, as far as they know, the last day they could hold the men’s triathlon in the river, and if they can’t, they’ll have to skip that portion.

He said that one of our athletes, Hayden Wilde, has expressed that there’d be a funny feeling about competing and perhaps medalling at an incomplete Olympic triathlon.

“There’d sort of always be an asterisk attached to that.”
