They said it wasn’t swimmable so she swam. After news outlets reported Paris’ iconic river was not clean enough for the Olympics, the city’s Mayor, Anne Hidalgo, took a leap into the Seine to prove the over $1.5 Billion commitment to river cleanup was successful. After her dip, Anne spoke to the media about the defying moment. “I remember at the very beginning in 2015 when we began our campaign for the Games, the international triathlon federation said why not a triathlon in the Seine? Will athletes be able to swim in the Seine? Today we can say they can.” #Olympics #Paris2024 #Seine #GoGreen #RiverCleanup #ParisMayor #AnneHidalgo #OlympicSwimming #olympictriathlons #seine #seineriver #paris
