World Triathlon

Following a meeting at 9.30AM on 29 August attended by representatives of World Triathlon, Paris 2024 and the relevant French authorities involved in monitoring the conditions of the Seine, Paris 2024 and World Triathlon have confirmed a revised schedule for the Para triathlon events at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

All eleven medal events will now take place on 1 September, instead of across two days, on 1 and 2 September. This decision has been taken to provide athletes and coaches with as much certainty as possible. The latest weather forecast provided by Météo France indicates high level of uncertainty for the upcoming days, which could have an impact on the conditions of the Seine. The course of the swim remains unchanged. All the races on Sunday 1 will be broadcasted LIVE, as initially planned for both competition days.

Paris 2024 and World Triathlon will continue their daily monitoring of water quality and the flow of the current. After the successful swim familiarization held on August 29, decisions to go ahead with familiarisation swims on 30 and 31 August, as well as the medal events on 1 September will be taken if possible at 7pm the day before, with the relevant information to be shared with the teams and all relevant stakeholders afterwards. Contingency days for all medal events remain September 2 and 3.

All enquiries regarding tickets will be handled by Paris 2024. As with all of the Paris 2024 triathlon and road events, this will also be an opportunity for the public to support and cheer the Para athletes along the route and celebrate the Games in a festive and popular atmosphere, in the heart of Paris.
