There was another hiccup at the Paris Olympics, when the technical tests of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which were originally planned to take place on the Seine, had to be postponed due to heavy rains and the river swelling for several days. This left the deputy mayor of Paris, Rabadan, busy, and he had to find a way to get the river to recede quickly and ensure that the test could go smoothly.
The Seine is a calling card of Paris and an important stage for the Olympic Games. Originally, it was planned to conduct a 6-kilometer technical test of parade boats on the river on the 27th of this month, but God did not give face, the heavy rain kept falling, and the river rose high, so the test could only be postponed. As for when it will be retested, it's still uncertain.
Rehearsals for the opening ceremony are scheduled for June 17, which is a big day and the Paris Olympic Committee has to make sure nothing goes wrong. The Olympics started on July 26 and lasted until August 8. The Seine is not only the venue for the opening ceremony, but also for open water swimming and triathlons. But it was previously reported that the number of E. coli in the Seine was exceeded, which was a threat to the health of athletes, which was also a headache for the Paris government.
Deputy Mayor Rabadan is very concerned about this, he knows how important the Seine is to the Olympics and knows that everyone is looking forward to the opening ceremony. He told the media that the government was looking for ways to reduce the river's water to normal levels in the shortest possible time. This sounds quite reassuring, after all, no one wants to see anything go wrong with the Olympics.
However, this incident also reminds us that with such a big event, any accident can happen. No one can say for sure about the weather, so you can only prepare in advance and adapt to changes. The Paris Olympic Committee has faced a challenge and an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to deal with the unexpected.
The water level of the Seine, although it has caused some problems in the preparations for the Paris Olympics, has also shown us the resilience and determination of the organizers.
