PARIS, July 29. /TASS/. Triathlon competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in France might be postponed to later dates due to poor water quality in the Seine River, Pierre Rabadan, deputy mayor of Paris, told French broadcaster RMC Sport on Monday.

Earlier in the day, the organizers of the 2024 Games in France decided to postpone the 2nd training session for triathletes in Paris. Last week they also suspended their 1st training session. Both sessions, according to them, were suspended due to contaminated water in the Seine River, caused by the recent heavy rains in the French capital.

"Plan B is to shift the [triathlon] competitions to other dates," Rabadan said in an interview with RMC Sport. "We can squeeze a two-day schedule into a single day."

"We are making plans here, but I hope that we will not have to resort to such contingencies," he added.

Triathlon competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics are scheduled for July 30 and 31.

Commenting on possible postponements of the triathlon competitions, Etienne Thobois, the director General of the 2014-Prais Organizing Committee, said later in the day he was sure that the competitions would be held in line with the schedule despite the previously two postponed training sessions.

Addressing a news conference earlier in the day, Thobois said the Organizing Committee was still firm on holding the triathlon competitions in line with the previous schedule, adding that "they will start tomorrow."

The 2024 Summer Olympic Games are hosted by the French capital of Paris between July 26 and August 11.

Heavy rains poured down on the French capital in recent days, also marring last Friday's Olympics opening ceremony, which took place along the Seine embankment and Trocadero Square.
