The pressing issue at the Paris Olympic Games is whether fans will witness the triathlon, as pollution levels in the Seine led to the men's race being postponed by a day.

The rescheduled men's and women's triathlons are set to occur back-to-back in Paris on Wednesday, with 20 gold medals to be awarded. Unfortunately, no surfing golds will be distributed in Tahiti due to adverse weather conditions.

Olympic champions will also be announced in gymnastics, BMX, and other sports. The women's triathlon may proceed after pollution levels forced the men's race delay, with expectations of stormy weather adding to the uncertainty. Golds are also available in swimming, gymnastics, rowing, football, badminton, basketball, judo, diving, and shooting.
