On August 27, Beijing time, according to official sources, the pre-match water test for the Tokyo Paralympic Triathlon originally scheduled to be held on the 27th was cancelled.
The International Triathlon Federation announced that the reason for the cancellation of the water test was the deterioration of the water quality in the water area of the competition-Tokyo Odaiba Seaside Park, and the number of enterococci in the water exceeded the standard value.
According to a report from the Japan Jiji News Agency on the 27th, the results of the water quality test conducted on the morning of the 26th showed that the Enterococcus value in the competition waters had exceeded the standard value. At present, the reason for the deterioration of water quality is still unclear.
However, according to the current news, the triathlon main race schedule originally scheduled for the 28th and 29th has not changed.
In addition, in an earlier report by Japanese media, after the men’s triathlon at the Tokyo Olympics, a number of athletes vomited after participating in the swimming competition, and voices questioning the serious seawater pollution of the stadium recurred. In August 2019, the Paralympic Triathlon World Cup was held in the waters of Odaiba. As the E. coli in the sea water exceeded the standard set by the International Triathlon Federation twice the standard, the swimming competition as a Paralympic test event was forced to be cancelled.Return to Sohu to see more
