Footage has circulated online showing the poor quality of water in the Seine River, where triathlon competitions are taking place at the Paris Olympics.
And then they wonder where athletes get E. coli from…
It should be noted that recently two Swiss triathletes withdrew from the relay at the Olympic Games in Paris.
They will not be able to take part in the relay at the Paris Olympics due to a stomach infection.
Adrien Briffaud, who finished 49th in the individual start, was originally scheduled to participate in the race, but was replaced by Simon Westermann due to health problems. However, Westermann was later diagnosed with an intestinal infection, which made his participation impossible.
Sylvain Friedlands will now be part of the Swiss team, the press service of the Swiss Olympic Committee reported.
The swimming portion of the triathlon was held in the River Seine, but tests later showed the water was unsuitable for competition and the men’s swims were postponed.
