Here's what to look out for on Monday

Monday's slate for the Paris Olympics includes a handful of the world's biggest basketball stars, a potential blockbuster tennis match, a couple of compelling swimming finals and a gymnastics showdown.

The biggest highlight could be Rafael Nadal taking on Novak Djokovic in the second match of the day on Court Philippe Chatrier.

The tie had not been confirmed for Monday as of late on Sunday, due to rain delays on the outdoor courts. It may be postponed to Tuesday.

It is the 60th meeting of the long-time tennis rivals; more than any other two men have played against each other in the sport’s Open era which began in 1968.

The tennis match has already started ;)

Yeah. Better late than never.

Olympics pre-race triathlon event in Seine River cancelled

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a famous dip in the river less than two weeks before Olympic events were set to start, hoping to prove that the infamously polluted waterway was clean enough to host swimming competitions.

A 2024 Olympics pre-race triathlon event which was planned to take place in Paris' Seine River was cancelled as concerns were risen over water quality.

Organisers said they removed the swimming leg of the triathlon familiarisation scheduled for Sunday after a meeting about water quality among authorities tasked with carrying out tests.

Well, shit happens ;) Sometimes literally.

Yeah. Didnt the president of the country try to appease everyone about the problem?

I believe it was the Mayor of Paris, as you mentioned. She took a dip in the river few weeks ago.

Have not followed the olympics yet. But today I will look at the mens handball.

Aren’t you going to cover the match in the threacast? That’s what they are for, am I right?

That was the plan but missed the game

That is a great way to use them.
