00:38but above all,
00:40by cleaning the river,
00:42we contribute to not damaging the oceans
00:44and to make sure that
00:46all this water that goes
00:48then to the sea
00:50is a much healthier water

00:54our fight for us,
00:56for future generations.
00:58The Olympic Village of athletes opens tomorrow,
