Paris Olympics Triathlon Faces Water Quality Controversy

Athletes report health issues and poor conditions during the Seine River swim, despite extensive cleanup efforts.

Canadian triathlete Tyler Mislawchuk vomited multiple times during the race, attributing it to high temperatures and polluted water.
Concerns over E. coli levels in the Seine led to delays and health warnings before the event.
Athletes described the water as 'disgusting' and noted the presence of debris during the swim.
Organizers had invested $1.5 billion in infrastructure to clean the Seine for the Olympics.
Similar water quality issues have plagued past Olympic triathlons, including in Rio and Sydney.
