Pete de Wet: Triathlon New Zealand CEO on the Men's event being postponed and the quality of the Seine

Will the men's triathlon face the amputation of one leg due to pollution of the River Seine at the Paris Olympics? 

The race was due to take place last night, before the filth from water quality tests forced a postponement to 8.45pm tonight. 

Triathlon New Zealand boss Pete de Wet told Mike Hosking hope springs eternal. 

He said that on some level this was expected but considering the amount they invested into improving the water quality in the Seine, they were hopeful it would sort itself out. 

“We’re just trying to focus on what we can control.”
