More Olympians are set to compete in the Seine River

At the Paris Olympics, whether the water quality in the Seine River is safe enough to host some swimming events has been a major question.

Bacteria levels in the river fluctuate constantly, and daily water samples are tested so organizers can assess the risk and determine whether swims in the long-polluted Paris waterway should go forward.

Triathletes raced in the river Wednesday, and organizers said Sunday night that Monday's triathlon mixed relay event would be held as planned with the swimming portion in the Seine. Testing will continue ahead of the marathon swimming races scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
