French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera swam in the Seine on Saturday, bolstering hopes that the river will be clean enough for the Paris Olympics 2024. The 46-year-old was joined by para-triathlete Alexis Hanquinquant, France’s flag-bearer for the Paralympics opening ceremony on August 28. Despite slipping as she entered the river, Oudea-Castera shared the swim on social media, upstaging Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who had announced plans to swim on July 17 if water quality permitted. The move by the minister highlights efforts to ensure safe conditions for Olympic competitors. Football At Paris Olympics 2024: Check Full Schedule, Match Timings in IST and Fixtures of Men’s and Women’s Competition at Summer Olympic Games.
