Paris Olympics: Mayor Anne Hidalgo Swims the Seine River
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, 65-year old Paris Mayor, swims in the Seine, Paris, France, demonstrate that the river is clean enough to host the outdoor swimming events at the Paris Olympics later this month.
Despite an investment of 1.4 billion euros ($1.5 billion) to prevent sewage leaks into the waterway, the Seine has been causing suspense in the run-up to the opening of the Paris Games on July 26 after repeatedly failing water quality tests.
But since the beginning of July, with heavy rains finally giving way to sunnier weather, samples have shown the river to be ready for the open-water swimming and triathlon.
