Seine River events are scrapped again, renewing doubts over Paris Olympics plan.

High levels of water pollution in the Seine River caused two swimming events to be cancelled over the weekend, after two others successfully went ahead on Thursday and Friday. A year ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, organisers say there is no Plan B for swimming events set to be held in the river.

Russians can qualify for Olympic spots in some sports. That doesn’t mean they’ll be allowed in Paris.

A year before the Paris Olympics, and nearly a year-and-a-half since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, officials governing many of the sports on the 2024 program are still split on how to treat Russian athletes.

Great news from the #IOC.

The #ParisOlympics will not make a mockery of the #OlympicIdeals.

#RussiaIsATerroristState that has swallowed #Belarus and is committing #Genocide in #Ukraine. So athletes from #Russia and the ‘rump state’ of Belarus are NOT invited to the #2024OlympicGames in #Paris. 👏 👏 👏

Startups at Paris Air Show hope to get air taxis buzzing across European skies.

Several companies at the Paris Air Show are presenting advanced prototypes of air taxis that could offer an alternative means of inner city transport. One of them, German group Volocopter, is aiming to get its aircraft up and running for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

I'd vomit if the temp was 79 when I was trying to sleep.

Olympic organisers are facing growing criticism over plans to let Russians and Belarusians into the 2024 Paris Olympics. But athletes from Belarus who openly oppose their president risk being left behind, whatever happens.

While we're on the topic of Big Honking Sporting Events, aka #Qatar2022, and human rights conditions it would be good to invoke the upcoming #ParisOlympics, so as to avoid double standards.

It's currently 2 degrees in Paris and as I write this thousands of migrant workers, some -- perhaps many -- undocumented, are laboring in less than ideal conditions on the massive infrastructure projects related to the upcoming 2024 games.

Lack of safety equipment, no vacation days, work in extreme heat and cold...

For those who speak French, highly recommend the latest investigation on this topic from @libe, following up on the equally stellar work of other left-leaning news outlets like @humanite_fr and @bastamedia.
