Triathletes in Seine River
The triathlon events at the Paris Olympics have been marred by health concerns as several athletes fell ill after competing in the Seine River, with Belgian triathlete Claire Michel hospitalized due to an E. coli infection. Belgium's team has withdrawn from the mixed relay event scheduled for Monday, citing Michel's illness, while Swiss athlete Adrien Briffod also suffered a gastrointestinal infection, raising doubts about the water quality. Despite extensive efforts costing $1.5 billion to clean the Seine, rising E. coli levels have led to cancellations of practice swims and heightened concerns for athlete safety. Officials from the Belgian Olympic Committee expressed hope for improved conditions in future events, emphasizing the need for clearer communication and safety guarantees. Organizers are still planning to proceed with the mixed relay event, although the situation remains fluid depending on water quality tests. Concerns over the safety of the Seine have been voiced by multiple athletes, indicating a serious oversight in health precautions for the competition.
