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.

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.

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.
