PARIS — Cassandre Beaugrand of France won the women's Olympic triathlon, swimming through the Seine River that was under scrutiny for its water quality and navigating slick roads that turned the biking portion into a series of spills. Beaugrand finished run on top of the Pont Alexandre III bridge and collapsed to the ground on top of the Paris 2024 logo. Her time of 1 hour, 54 minutes, 55 seconds edged Julie Derron of Switzerland by six seconds. Beth Potter of Britain captured bronze. In the men's race that started less than an hour after the women finished, Alex Yee of Britain held off Hayden Wilde of New Zealand by six seconds to win gold. Leo Bergere of France took bronze.
