Olympians dove into the River Seine on Wednesday after a pre-dawn notice confirmed its waters were safe for the triathlon, saving France from the embarrassment of a central Paris 2024 promise being broken.

Test results that morning showed E.Coli and Enterococcus faecalis bacteria levels were below European safety limits.

CGTN Europe's Ken Browne asked locals if they would now take a leap into the Seine.
