Why is it so important they swim in that dam river? The water looks like raw sewage water.

There are at least 10 water sports

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT FRENCH 😉. 😂😂😂😂

@ExceptionalLibra Месяц назад

So, it's still not safe.. Where did the money go?

@Charbon24 Месяц назад

French politicians, it's called socialism. We're used to it...

@user-ur6uw9nr5x Месяц назад

Into the french politicians wallets i suppose…smh

@CassidyBlackwell-x3e Месяц назад

Omg! That’s me running the torch at the end! Ironically, that shot is in Chamonix, not Paris, where the alpine river water is much much cleaner (but I bet also much much colder!)

girl i had to rewind three times out of curiosity just to find you 😂😂 you look great and super happy 😊 if you're as curious shes at 5:26 😊

@matthewtravisano1097 Месяц назад

I would NEVER swim in the Seine River. EVER.

@stunter2875 Месяц назад

It's a good thing for everyone to try and have healthy, safe waterways. It's sad that it takes such an event to make a difference when it should have been important to have clean waterways all along.

@VerseauT-cm6tj Месяц назад

I lived in Paris for 9 years. It rained almost every day. The Seine is filthy. Move it to the Marne river.

@user-ds9vr3mg4z Месяц назад

Sorry VERSEAU .. but Today r Marne IS filthier thanks river Seine🥴. .. they ''used'' some miles along Marne to'' depoluate '' Seine creating ''depolution areas'' . 🙈 🙊

@titanxie5579 Месяц назад

I hope the American old dude is still ok.

@scootscootriot1020 Месяц назад

They are complaining about the Seine River being too polluted to swim in. Come to Cleveland and swim in the Cuyahoga River. It was so polluted it caught on fire. Not just once but at least 5 times in a span of 20 years.

@catha.j.stuart2200 Месяц назад

The whole concept of swimming in the Seine is crazy

@Charbon24 Месяц назад

Yes but people in Paris and especially the major are stupid. Every french know that...

@jpsion Месяц назад

only the strongest will win. all according to plan 🤷🏾‍♂️

@themarquis336 Месяц назад

What’s absurd is how much doubting and back-and-forth there is. They should have come up with a Plan B from the first microsecond they questioned whether the river would actually be ready in time or not. It’s great to have fun ideas, but it’s even greater to have the good sense of scrapping them when you see they’re not working…

@js6728 Месяц назад

they should have been forced to use composting toilets for 3 years now, but its too late

@boardcertifiable Месяц назад

They should have fixed the plumbing infrastructure too..

@knox1044 Месяц назад

Olympics should not be held at places with all this pollution and nasty waterways. Those countries should be shamed, and not allowed to hold them

@DonGivani Месяц назад

😂 BS, I agree with the waterways, but Paris has enough options to organise events

@charlesjohnson4933 Месяц назад

Definitely going to get an ear infection.

@boardcertifiable Месяц назад

I'm more concerned for them getting cholera and e-coli. 🤢

@CorncropTv Месяц назад

The bubble guts are going to be crazy.

@kirbyisjaye Месяц назад

It does look bad….

@cesartabasa3204 Месяц назад

A challenge to Paris, a highly developed city in europe with poor water quality in Seine river.

@bobzelley5100 Месяц назад

The United States 1972 Clean Water Act , signed by RMN , was the first major Federal environmental peotection legislation. It arguably has bad the most positive influence on the water's of the United States. 52 years later our ground and surface water is the highest quality in over a century .

@AuxaneST Месяц назад

They did what was needed and it was delivered in time at super high costs. No heavy rain predicted around Olympics swimming time so it will be swimmable. Next subject.

@robjackson9758 Месяц назад

the 4th of July swimmer was "UndeTURD"

@wenpai1062 Месяц назад

Been at Paris a month ago, I won’t dip my feet in Sein for a second !

@RC-wt7fr Месяц назад

Absolutely not.

@samuelcarvallo402 Месяц назад

Water quality is superior than it was in Tokyo and Rio but nobody cared enough to comment back then. The last few days the river was deemed safe for swimming most of the time and the French minister of sports swam in the river this morning. The weather was really bad in June and the infrastructures were not in place yet, so maybe you should wait before criticizing the way Paris is handling this event.

@user-xw9eo4lw8q Месяц назад

Safe “most of the time”? So if it’s not at the time swimmers are scheduled, too bad?

@samuelcarvallo402 Месяц назад

@@user-xw9eo4lw8q So what is your point ? Because that's exactly my point The video is saying the water is not safe for swimming right now which is incorrect righ now and that it was not safe in May or April which as you're saying yourself is not relevant. It's possible that with heavy rain (which is unlikely in late July) the river will not be safe but since they now do have a contengency plan what more do you want ? They never pretended the Seine will be safe in May or June, they always stated it almost certainly will be safe for the olympics. So can you explain what is the problem then ?

@jimaglonzoa.m6368 Месяц назад

Rio 2016 was way worse

@jrizzle3124 Месяц назад

😂😂😂😂 They swimming in 💩

@aqz197 Месяц назад

Today, the Sport minister and gold medalists swam in the Seine.

@user-ds9vr3mg4z Месяц назад

And if interested, you Can find that video, see how she appreciated Her swimming session and water quality 😉.

@rickalista4480 Месяц назад

Nasty 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢 i hope the swimmers don't get in the water

@jpsion Месяц назад

i disagree..the swimmers safety comes second to the iconic backdrop of the seine. people second, state and paris come first

@knox1044 Месяц назад

Disgusting. I wouldn’t swim in it. France is disgusting with their waterways

@ThaddeusJameson Месяц назад

It's like the east river in NYC ! Or the Hudson ! The Hudson actually still has sewage pumped into it even now !

@user-ds9vr3mg4z Месяц назад

ABC ... You are so LATE ... 😂😂😂 Obviously you missed the fact that the SEINE waters have been declared clean and no more poluted . AMÉLIE OUDEA CASTERA French Sports Minister swam on the SEINE yesterday JULY, 13rd and all that has been reported on tv broadcast .

@Mary-en6eq Месяц назад

They better sanitize that river thoroughly. E- coli and fecal matter? Are you all serious? If there is no alternative venue, cancel the events. The safety of the athletes is critical.

@MrScaryLemonHead Месяц назад

Such a waste of money. If you have zero homeless, zero hungry, zero out of work… then you can spend the people’s money on this irrelevant crap.

@realalbertan Месяц назад

Open water marathon swim will be at the rowing venue.

@macrichardson7904 Месяц назад

When you encourage swimmers to TAPE THEIR MOUTHS SHUT, they should not be swimming in there !!! That is reckless and disrespectful

@SOVIET-KGB-CCCP Месяц назад

Soon after swimming the mayor was taken to a nearby hospital Doctors said she wont be able to swim again till the bacteria level inside and outside her body remains. Moreover they transferred her to a nearby mental hospital for treatment and have suggested electric shocks.

@rebekahquinley8093 Месяц назад

Triathlon without the swim is ridiculous. What a joke.

@graphdatascientist Месяц назад

no way

@dfa3366 Месяц назад

Why officials insist holding swimming events in this river is ridiculous especially if other safer waterways are available. All for the aesthetics.

@MerelyGifted Месяц назад

How could the olympics allow Paris to even *consider* holding swimming events in such a polluted waterway? It's as if the tories had been in charge of the water there, too. Oh, and they must mean the *River Seine?!*

@user-ds9vr3mg4z Месяц назад

If you want to make a funny, irresistible joke 🤣. better that way . : '' they must mean the River is SAINE with lettre ''A''. as in the word SANTé ( = health )

@Morigan20003 Месяц назад

French people is arrogant by showing off that the water of their city is clean even if it's not ! Really ridiculous, full of ego

@boris2835 Месяц назад

Paris July 13th 19:18 PM... Entry 1: It has been pourrir rain for the last hour with thunderstorm, I do not know how we are going to be able to conquer this treacherous seine.... till next time

@user-ds9vr3mg4z Месяц назад

Never been out swimming under a pouring rain.. o pityfull

@LarryMendaros Месяц назад

Rural areas are lesser buildings means lesser pollution..y risk everyone f there's safer areas to do event like example seaside always the best venue for swimming

@ft_ph Месяц назад

It’s because people are sick and tired of the forward, bawards, and weird swimming competitions. There’s way too many swimming events.
