当地时间7月17日上午，法国巴黎市市长安妮·伊达尔戈跳入塞纳河中游泳，以向外界证明塞纳河水质“足够干净”，可以确保巴黎奥运会水上项目正常举行。

巴黎奥运会临近之际，巴黎市长安妮·伊达尔戈17日跳入塞纳河中游泳，以证明塞纳河水质“足够干净”。

Accompanied by Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Hidalgo said that the water was in "rather optimal conditions."

“天气很凉爽，但一点也不冷。我们不想上岸，”她说。

After a 100-year ban on bathing in the river, athletes will take the plunge in just a few days during the Games, the City Hall of Paris said on its X account, adding that swimming in the Seine will also be open to the public as of next summer.
巴黎市政厅在其X账户上表示，塞纳河已经禁止游泳有100年的时间，它将在奥运会期间迎来运动员们，并补充说，塞纳河游泳也将于明年夏天向公众开放。
