https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/04/sport/belgium-withdraws-mixed-relay-triathlon-seine-spt/index.html Belgium has withdrawn from the mixed relay triathlon race on Monday and Switzerland has had to mix up its roster after athletes from both countries fell ill following the initial triathlon races last week. Belgium announced it was dropping out of the raceafter one of its triathletes, Claire Michel, has fallen ill, its National Olympic Committee said in a statement. The statement did not specify Michels illness, which was reported days after she swam in the River Seine during the womens triathlon on Wednesday. The BOIC and Belgian Triathlon must unfortunately announce that the Belgian Hammers will not be starting the mixed relay at the Paris Olympic Games tomorrow. The decision, like this communication, was taken in consultation with the athletes and their entourage, the statement read. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8e4e7891.jpg If you trained a ton to make it to the Olympics and the event you're in required swimming in water with high levels of E. coli, would you still do it? --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...

Why does it have to be the Seine river? Can't the triathlon be held at a different river in France, or even another country? Just because it's the Paris 2024 Olympics, doesn't mean every event has to be held there. Use common sense for a change and protect the athletes, who trained their whole lives for this moment of competing at the highest level and representing their country.

Yeah swimming in a river in a large city, no matter the city, seems like a terrible idea. A river doesn't need to look or smell like the Ganges River to be a hotbed of bacteria.

They needed to spent that much because it has been illegal to swim in the Seine because of health hazards for over 100 years and then the heavy downpour during the opening ceremony effed up all their plans. It's frankly a miracle they got the Seine to an acceptable level during the short time they had after that. --- ''You are, in fact, the man.'' - Jifted Kid Owner of negative bolts in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. ...
