The Seine is full of doodoo.
They were just standing there, looking at the scenery, when “illness” hit them. Huh. Flying illness.
Swimming in the Seine River has been illegal for more than a century because of its toxicity, but some exceptions have been made.
In preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the city invested around $1.5 billion in infrastructure to improve water quality, including building basins to collect rainwater and treat wastewater.
However, water tests have still shown unsafe levels of E. coli bacteria and other pollutants before and during the games. For example, in spring 2024, E. coli levels were more than 20 times higher than World Triathlon considers acceptable.
The athletes are IN SEINE for swimming in that cesspool. France needs to be brought up on charges for endangering their health.
How could this happen with Paris being such an integral part of the green grab movement?

[Microsoft web page translation used]-PJNo Belgian triathletes in the mixed relay tomorrow. They have to give up because Claire Michel is infected with the E. coli bacteria.
The Belgian triathlon relay team, the Belgian Hammers, has forfeited the mixed triathlon that will take place on Monday morning. One of the four pawns, Claire Michel, has been ill for four days and had to go to the hospital today for treatment. She is infected with the E. coli bacterium, it turned out after examination. This bacterium can cause gastrointestinal problems, the cause may be the polluted Seine. In the meantime, Michel is back in the Olympic village.
The idea of swimming in filthy water is enough to make a person sick. Well, wonder what these folks will be bring home?
Paris may be the City of Light, but it smells of urine, feces, garlic, and body odor. Swimming in the heavily polluted Seine is an incredibly stupid idea.
The Olympic organizers could do a lot to alleviate safety concerns by swimming in the Seine for a few hours.
God will not be mocked. He is dealing with Paris. Contaminated river, heavy rains opening weekend, train system down, and power outages.
Le phew.
Wonder what a drop of that water looks like under a microscope. More living creatures than Tokyo.
