Organisers were forced to cancel the Open Water Swimming World Cup in Paris in August after heavy rain caused the Seine's water quality to dip below minimum health standards, leaving Gubecka and other swimmers unable to compete. Swimming legs of test events for triathlon and Para triathlon were also scrapped in August over water quality concerns. "They really are considering their options and are going to try to make sure we have the best experience possible next year." Paris has been working on clean-up efforts to make the Seine swimmable again, as it was during the 1900 Paris Olympics. Bathing in the Seine has been banned since 1923, though officials have long promised to restore water quality to safe levels.
