PARIS OLYMPICS WINDING DOWN
The Philippine Star
|August 09, 2024
Olympic marathon swimmers dived into the Seine Thursday with the river deemed clean enough to compete, as US sprinter Noah Lyles hoped to pocket a 200m gold to go with his stunning 100m success.

As the Paris Games builds to a crescendo, LeBron James leads his dream team of US superstars into a semifinal against Serbia powered by Nikola Jokic, a three-time NBA most valuable player.
After a running saga over the quality of the water in the Seine, 24 women took the plunge for the 10-kilometer marathon swim through the heart of the city.
Sharon van Rouwendaal from the Netherlands won a gruelling battle against her competitors and a strong current in two hours three minutes 34 seconds.
Water quality in the Seine has been in the spotlight during the Olympics despite a 1.4-billion-euro ($1.5-billion) effort to improve sewerage and water treatment.
Organizers have been forced to scrap several training sessions and postpone the men's individual triathlon after assessing the water to be too dirty to swim in.
