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.”
—”Doing it in a river running through the middle of a large city is a bad idea.”
No guts, no glory.
To people who say “Oh, this is no big deal” I would scoop a glass of water from a random spot in the Seine, hand it to them, and say “Okay. Put your mouth where your money is. Drink this glass of Seine water.”
And it HAS to be a clear glass.
And the person drinking must watch the water be scooped out.
And no plugging of the nose while drinking.
That real world inspired motivation should have produced record times.
Eau de merde
Apparently Paris is a cesspool. Honest athletes shouldn’t have to be subjected to that.
—”And no plugging of the nose while drinking.”
Guessing you may be a Shellback?
And survived the rituals, who would know what some of that stuff was? No way you turned it down.
Paris 2024 Olympics: Aussie athletes demand swimming leg of the triathlon be held in River Seine no matter how dirty the water
PS: My career Navy father said the ritual concoctions came from the mess hall and were safe to consume.
He came, he swam, he shroked.
no swimming pools in frogland??? hell there’s an Olympic size pool 3 miles from here...
How many times does this stupidly written article mention that the guy threw up?
“The French have a long historical relationship with fecal matters”
Suppose that’s why they’re into bidets?

Don’t like it, don’t read it!
Or write your own.
NB: All writers should have an editor and they do not come cheap.
Pesto Bismol.
Current?
Olympics in general are a big mistake.
Same thing I was thinking. This is just over exertion. The polluted water will take a few hours to take effect.
You sure it’s not from watching the opening ceremony?
OK snurp, here you go:
Canadian triathlete, Tyler Mislawchuk, vomits from exhaustion following the swimming leg of the triathlon.
Straight and to the point. See how simple that was? And I didn't even get paid..........Sheesh!
A good start.
But remember you are paid by the word, and food has become expensive.
Part of the game is to pad the report for a higher payout.
Hunger is a terrible thing.
—”Suppose that’s why they’re into bidets?”
Have you ever used one?
They are a good thing to have.
Many years of rock and ice climbing where toilet paper is discouraged but there is always some jamoke with his TP.
After a few days, you do not want to be too close because they stink!
And they are exiled to the downwind side of the camp.
Snowballs make the best wipe, very clean.
You do not wipe your dishes with a paper towel and call them clean; I hope not!
Spending much time on a bicycle, I do not want to see skid marks in my cycling shorts so I have used a bidet for many years.
And if you are on a septic field it’s a big plus.
Keep moving the goal posts, you'll get there eventually.......LOL!
