Hidalgo appeared on France Inter radio. There, the presenter asked her if she was ready to swim in the river.
“Yes, of course. I’m going to swim in the Seine next week,” she replied.
Peskov spoke about the decision of a number of Russian athletes not to go to the Paris Olympics.
Swimming in the Seine has been officially banned since 1923. The ban is due to the poor quality of the water. But French authorities have promised to clear the Seine in time for the 2024 Olympics. Some Olympic competitions will take place in the waters of the Seine.
