“Infected after swimming in the Seine”
After participating in the individual event, he claimed to have been infected with E. coli The problem of water pollution in the Seine River continues, with the relay team forfeiting training and changing the schedule for the event
While the '2024 Paris Olympics' are in full swing, the Seine River, where the outdoor swimming competition will be held, is still considered a headache. Triathletes who competed in the Seine River are complaining of illness.
Foreign media outlets such as the BBC reported on the 5th (Korean time) that the Belgian Olympic Committee announced that "Claire Michel, a female triathlete who swam in the Seine River on the 4th, is feeling unwell and will withdraw from the mixed relay event."
Michel had previously competed in the women's individual triathlon event on the 31st of last month.
The Belgian committee did not provide a detailed explanation of Michelle's condition, but claimed that she was infected with E. coli and that the problem was due to water quality issues in the river.
Earlier on the 3rd, Swiss team officials also announced, "Triathlete Adrien Briford, who swam in the Seine, has contracted an infectious disease."
At the time, the Swiss side explained, "There is no known correlation between the athlete's illness and the water quality of the Seine, and Briford is the only athlete showing abnormal symptoms."
However, a day later, on the 4th, Swiss officials announced, "Simon Westermann, who was scheduled to compete in Briford's place, has also shown symptoms of the same infectious disease and will not be able to compete." The problem with the Seine's water quality has been consistently pointed out since before the opening ceremony. When it rains, sewage flows into the Seine, resulting in E. coli and enterococci exceeding the standard levels being detected. Since the water quality has not improved since the opening, official training has been canceled for two consecutive days, and even the men's triathlon scheduled for the 30th of last month was postponed by one day after the Seine River was judged to be 'unsuitable' in water quality tests. Despite this, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee has stated that "the bacteria detected in the Seine River are considered safe for athletes to swim in." However, Rambis Constantinidis, the person in charge of the operation of this event, said on the 29th of last month, "If an extreme situation occurs and all planned measures are deemed impossible, we have considered the possibility of holding the triathlon as a duathlon." The duathlon is a competition that consists of running and cycling only, excluding swimming. As such problems with the water quality of the Seine River continued to occur, the Belgian side stated on that day, "We hope that this incident will serve as a lesson for holding triathlon events in future Olympics." They also argued that "the training and competition days for the Olympics must be clearly guaranteed in advance, and there should be no confusion for athletes." 바카라사이트
