What Olympic Triathletes Thought About Swimming in the Seine

Category: Sports

Seth Rider's viral comments about intentionally exposing himself to E. coli before the Paris triathlon were clarified as a joke after he finished 29th. The event faced delays due to high E. coli levels in the Seine, but the swimming leg proceeded without incident. Cassandre Beaugrand won the women's race, while Alex Yee took gold in the men's event. Athletes expressed concerns about water currents and race conditions rather than pollution, with some dismissing the water quality issue as overblown.
