Paris is gearing up for the Olympic Games, facing challenges with both the Seine's water quality and security preparations. Last August, the city had to cancel marathon swimming test events due to the Seine's pollution. Despite this, Paris officials have stated "there is no plan B" for hosting the swimming events in the Seine, indicating a strong commitment to resolve the water quality issues. In a separate but concerning development, a bag containing sensitive security plans for the Olympics was stolen from a French train. The stolen documents are crucial for the safety of the event, which will see around 35,000 security forces deployed daily, including "Two thousand" municipal police officers, to ensure the security of the Games starting "July 26".
