It\u2019s not looking hopeful for the athletes expecting a dip in the Seine.\xa0

Familiarisation dips for the triathlon competitors have been cancelled for two days straight.\xa0

Officials are hoping Tuesday will see the athletes in the Seine, but with heavy rain due later in the week it\u2019s not looking good for the long term.\xa0

France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that last they\u2019ve heard, E Coli is between three and five times above the acceptable level. \xa0

She said that they couldn\u2019t predict this level of rain, and they haven\u2019t had this level of heavy rain in July for at least 20 years.\xa0
