The women’s individual triathlon competition is taking place on the Pont Alexandre III in Paris, France on the afternoon of the 31st (Korean time).
The triathlon race in Paris, France, which was disrupted by water quality issues in the Seine River, has finally ended after many twists and turns. However, it is still causing much controversy, as a participant was caught vomiting after the race.
According to the New York Post on the 1st, Canadian Tyler Myslocuk, who competed in the Paris Olympic triathlon, vomited 10 times after crossing the finish line.
The water quality of the Seine River, where the triathlon and marathon swimming races will take place, was a big issue even before the competition.
On the opening day, heavy rain poured down, and untreated wastewater flowed into the Seine, further worsening the water quality. This led to a lot of controversy, including the postponement of the men’s triathlon, but the organizing committee eventually pushed ahead with the event on the 31st.
Naturally, the athletes were dissatisfied. Before the event, Seth Ryder of the United States criticized the event by saying, “We don’t wash our hands after going to the bathroom to get used to E. coli.” In
addition, the scene of Tyler Myslochuk vomiting was broadcast to the world through broadcast cameras and photos, and it is expected to spark controversy once again. The mixed triathlon event on the 5th and the marathon swimming event on the 8th and 9th are still scheduled to take place in the Seine.
There is also the possibility of changing to a ‘duathlon format’, where only cycling and running events are held, excluding swimming, and the plan to hold the marathon swimming event at the Vers-sur-Mer seafront stadium outside Paris is being considered. 바카라사이트
