That river has been used for hundreds of years as a dumping ground for everything and everything, including human bodies. That kind of thing is hard to reverse quickly
The Seine is in NO WAY the "main source of water" in Paris,,over 60 springs around Paris have been used for over a century and still provide tap water to the city .Recycled water from the river ,being used to wash streets only And what do you mean by "main feature of your country"?? Before writing such a piece of rubbish,try to get some info,instead of displaying such ignorance.
When there is a big rainstorm in New York City the same thing happens. Rainwater runoff and street garbage mixes with sewage and flows into the ocean. Doesn’t just happen in Europe.
@@A1Kirazzyes, but more people means more poop. So an extra 300k people means more poop. Not only that but more trash, traffic, congestion and other bad things. It’s very very simple math lol
I'm French and Parisian. I can clearly say the water is extremely disgusting and they have high hopes just to impress the world but time is short. They must find another plan those silly organizers
Glad they're getting attention. They've taken the real natural river out of that body of water. Its concrete and run off. Rivers need to flow naturally with trees and wild life for it to be able to manage itself and stay clean. Rivers need to be cleaner. People can manage waste better. I wouldn't swim in that either.
No matter what you do. A river going through the middle of a city will never be clean! Rats and vermins walking by the hedge of the river, water from streets, when raining will inevitably leak down to the river, no matter what you build to collect water, there's always spillage over.
It is sad how all of these "experts" and the Paris Olympics officials are just trying to move things along for sake of TV ratings, publicity, and putting on a good show. The athletes who will need to swim in human crap will be the ones to suffer unfortunately. As with many public works project unless Asians are building it ( China, Japan) then it probably will not be on time or ahead of schedule. Honestly the Olympic teams should start protesting within the Olympic political framework regarding unsafe venues to force the city of Paris to change the swimming location or change the Tri-Athlon location entirely to a location without water quality issues. All the articles are treating this like business as usual and the event will go on regardless of water quality. And to the Washington Post reporter ( Less Carpenter) speaking as if he is some type of expert on water quality insinuating that things should just move along let's have him swim in it and have a nice tall glass of water from the seine to drink if he is so confidant the water is ok to swim in, its a sad , unsafe, and unhygienic situation all around.
I went to Paris last month and even took a trip on Seine and water didnt look much better than in other european capitols. But stream was pretty strong there.
What the hell Olympic event involves swimming in a river/lake? Never even heard of such a thing. All these new Olympic events some of them are just ridiculous.
Triathalons are always like that, man. So are the very long distance swimming events. Every time, man. Every time. Nothing new. Not sure how many times it's been in a river, but it's always open water.
These days I'd be afraid to put my toe into the water at Orchard Beach here in the beautiful Bronx. So good luck to these folks, I hope you enjoy yourselves. Give my regards to the Eiffel Tower.
my local river was definitely bad in the summer. seems the playboaters have baced off summer paddles substantially. to be on the safe side i used to moutghwash with southern comfort 100 proof then take a swig to clean my throat. at least it kept those spots clean without issues
how about having all those fit young energetic people do something important like cleaning up the world instead of wasting their energy on frivilous stuff that really doesn't matter-there I said it
Why does it take the olympics to keep your main source of water and main feature of your country/city clean?
Did you see what they did to Rio De Janero?
Because the politicians are not embarrassed and complacent, it’s the same for many countries

@@qelizabeth_i Yes that is my point

the fact that there are no fish in that river tells you everything you need to know.
my father worked for the water district in maine for years, fish help clean the river as well
What makes you think there are no fish? There are 30+ species of fish living in Parisian section of the Seine
there are fish in the water.
There are a lot of fish in the water. What makes you say otherwise?
@@caseywerner1140they’re “planted” there
Until the mayor is willing to drink a cup full of water directly from the river then NO athlete should be forced to swim in it.
Centuries of using the river as a human toilet not even from sewage pipes people just did it straight in
The River Thames in London is also very polluted. So are all the rivers and the sea. No one does anything to clean it. Disgusting....😮
I know right, all those fish peeing and pooping with no consideration for anyone else.
Europe's rivers are gross.
@@obsidianjane4413don’t forget those people from foreign countries taking a dump in the river. 😂
At least London not enforcing to use Thames river for olympic events
Parisians are shitting in it in protest.
Rectal Partisanz
Did you need to post something like that?
You made my day, I am in good company! Oui! (some people have no sense of humor)
@@andyroo9381no there’s actually a movement
Ambitious goal they set. I applaud the effort.

True, but hopefully no one is forced to swim in it.
Think the Seine is filthy now add all the waste from 300,000+ visitors/spectators.
The french already do that

russia is not participating? i learned in school that the olympics were for every country to get together, even if they are at war?
I'm not swimming in that nasty water.
Nasty nasty water.
well yeah you can't really swim so...
Your not an Olympian so don't worry
did someone ask you to?
@@johnhaxby306 your mom did, she didn't tell you?

1.5 billion to clean the river !! They could have built a stadium instead
A different 1.5 billion was used for that.
I’m glad they are spending money to clean up the river - benefits a lot more people than Olympic entertainment.
A clean river would actually benefit residents long after the games
@@brockroberts4258Right.
I screamed whaaat at full volume. Swim in thaaaaaaat? You’re lying. This is SNL
Its sad that human activity is killing rivers!
And the gold medal for Triathlon goes to Andy Dufresne.
Paris Olympics will be a disastrous. No AC and contaminated water and hot summer.
Oh, thank you for these wise words - let’s call the whole thing off.
LOl.. Open your windows and breathe mate.. You dont need AC in Paris.. or may a week in a year

Visit Singapore, they did that with concrete base rivers
The Seine is a truly democratic toilet. Everyone gets to contribute.
eau de toilet am I right
If you think that Russian will attack your games, you are about to miss something guys... Like overlook
I hope they can clean it up but they should have a backup. No cheating russians this time.
Ok we will foward your advice to the olympic comitee
3:11 A Du-Athlon? why not just say “biathlon”? 😂
If they can clean the toxic Lake Apopka and make it now thrive, I’m sure they can clean this river
Europe was pointing on Qatar now Europe is silent on France
Is there a plan B? 🤢
They can move the event. Or give all the athletes shots of antibiotics ahead of the event. 😂
Why not use the beach? Even the Surfing competition is held at Tahiti
what do you think?
@@boardcertifiableI wouldn’t swim in it even with antibiotics!
Hearing the plans for the 2024 Olympics reminds me a lot of the movie "Under Paris" on Netflix.
If you see Casey you should ask him what he thinks about the river in Paris and the Summer Olympics coming up

to much poop in the seine river for the men's triathlon
Its gonna be a "shitshow"!
Dude this guys name is Chevy chase MD
….. why is potential profits from the Olympics the only thing that makes a politician care about water quality.
This has to be the dumbest and expensive idea I have ever heard.
"I think everyone's kinda holding their breath wondering how this is gonna come out."
Yeah, especially if you're swimming IN THE SEINE!
They will mask the issue and dye the water
Is that pooping protest still going to happen? If it is then I really don't think those politicians should be vowing to swim it it 😂

This has been around since the dawn of it
Okay Mr. dinosaur.
been there recently, the river is brown, dead birds floating, trash collectors... beyond saving
Ewww they gonna be swimming in POO water! 😂🤢🤮
Hopefully they’ll keep working on this issue post-Olympics.
Oh no! Not too much ecoli! You want just the right amount of it.
It will be a beautiful Olympics 2024. PARIS!
But, are there any sharks in the river? That's the real question.
There sure is according to the new Netflix movie “Under Paris” 😮
Not sharks. Only crocs.
What about the Paralympics? No mention whatsoever.
印度人：像回到家一样😂
Where else would they dump their sewage and waste water?
Paris lmfao 😂
If Russian not attending. I feel sorry for all the Dope Dealer. I bet the prices of steroids has drop.
Dirty city... Was there. Never recommend
Lol.
does Paris not have pools??
I guess you didn't look up what "open water swimming" is.
@@obsidianjane4413 if you build it, they will come...
can someone answer Mychelle please?
Yes they have swimming pool. I had to look it up, they built a facility for the Olympic 2024 called the Aquatic Center.
@@MyWadester so there is one pool for 10 Millions people right?
These days I'd be afraid to put my toe into the water at Orchard Beach here in the beautiful Bronx. So good luck to these folks, I hope you enjoy yourselves. Give my regards to the Eiffel Tower.
gotta be kidding me,,swim in that trash water?
They should use lots of “Life Straw’ so they water would be drinkable! 😂

I'm glad I'm not swimming gin the olympics this year
Euw
Paristan
The Seine is always pure sewage water. So gross! Do not swim there!
humans will still do iit
Ok. Now I get the movie Under Paris. It seemed kinda meh, but it's actually a commentary on a real upcoming event.
lol
If there were clear issues known, why choose that city? 0_o
When it rains, 💩 mixes in with the river 🙄😑
Quelle surprise…
It doesnt help when people per and poo in middle of the street.
E coli ?
no thanks
😡People should boycott 2024 Paris Olympics.
So Says Putin #Fool
@@BlueJazzBoyNZIndeed. Fortunately no one will listen to either of them.
Rich people problems
Terrible interview 😕
😳 SMDH
If this was a city in India, they would be bottling, labeling and drinking😂😂😂
there was probably ecoli there before the paris poop protest.
Parisians dumping loads in the river.
Standard French project
thinking outside the box ! Always !!
It was an stupid idea from the begining.
it's called thinking outside the BOX.. would have been easier to do everything a stadium like everyone with a laser show
French streets are covered in brown doggie croissants
Macron and company shouldnt just jump. They should stay in the river for 30mins minimum
Maybe stop discharging raw sewage into the river? Might help, just a thought 😂
And that HAS BEEN DONE by Haussmann around 1860 !
Ask Macron if he can dive in the water 1st before the swimmers😂😂

Like you typing comments is really helping clear the world up
@@bardsamok9221 my idea is true, correct and just , if it catches on it will have a great affect
