An Olympian was seen violently vomiting on live TV after he was forced to swim through the River Seine.
Canadian triathlete Tyler Mislawchuk had just crossed the finish line after swimming just shy of a mile in the river that runs through the heart of Paris, France.

(BBC/NBC) For more than 100 years, swimming in the Seine has mostly been banned as people would be at risk of contracting diseases if they accidentally swallowed the polluted water - known for it's high levels of E.coli.

But with France hosting their third Summer Olympics, and the first in 100 years, athletes who take part in the marathon swimming and triathlon events have been permitted to dip in the water for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Mislawchuk was one of a number of Olympians seen struggling after completing the triathlon which included a 1.5-km swim, 40km bike ride, and 10km run.
But the Canadian - who finished in ninth place - was the only athlete to be seen throwing his guts up, although it is no surprise with the poor water quality and temperatures soaring 86F in the French capital.

“I went for it, I have no regrets - vomited 10 times.”
He came! He swam! He barfed!
And it is claimed that Baby Ruths do not float!
He got syphillis!
If he’s vomiting that soon after the race, it’s from overexertion. It’s not something that happens frequently, but it’s not unusual. They’ll puke, or soil themselves from the stress, especially the endurance athletes like the triathletes or marathoners.
It’s the athletes who will be vomiting later on back in their quarters that are more significant, since those will be the ones poisoned by the contaminated water.
Having this in Paris was a big mistake.
The toxic swim is one of the most grueling events of the fake Olympics
Lovely /s
I was in Paris a few months ago. The Seine is one nasty looking river. I can’t imagine swimming in that.
Yes, we know. That's how many times it was mentioned in the above article.
When I was a competitive distance runner, I would occasionally see someone puke after a race. It happens ...
The French have a long historical relationship with fecal matters, but to expect people from other countries to do the same is asking too much.
—”If he’s vomiting that soon after the race, it’s from overexertion.”
SPOILSPORT!
This is FreeRepublic and no place for facts.
On an unexpectedly warm century ride, I almost made it in; almost.
A trash can in a park and that was that; hard to be rid of the barf smell in your nostrils.
He’ll probably get an endorsement deal out of this.
—”Having this in Paris was a big mistake.”
Why so?
Better to have the taxpayers of another country be chumped.
The triathlon consists of a 1.5-km swim in sewage followed by a 40km bike ride Arab-occupied Paris and 10km run for your life.

Not even close.
The nocturnal romp on the cardboard beds would be my guess.
That and they were supplied by the lowest bidder.
—”He’ll probably get an endorsement deal out of this.”
No telling about the hosers of the Great White North, eh?
I believe this event was held in the harbor at the Tokyo Olympics. Doing it in a river running through the middle of a large city is a bad idea.
—”40km bike ride Arab-occupied Paris and 10km run for your life.”
Nothing unusual.
I have run the Chicago Marathon, and we went through some of the darker underbelly of the city. Not the place to stop and walk.
And lucky me, did not die! The crowds were fun everywhere.
One year I ran with the group around Joe Dileonardi, Chicago Chief of Police. A safe group.
