It would be like holding the Olympics in NY City, and having triathletes swim the Harlem and East River, starting in the Bronx.
Well despite the fact that NYC is loathsome...the rivers are actually safer to fall into than the Seine...I would worry about stuff that is in the muddy bottom of those rivers...old heavy metal pollutants and stuff like that.Yet the water itself won’t kill you if you had to make a swim of it as long as you weren’t chained up while wearing cement galoshes.
The whole thing has been a cluster from the opening and I for one am glad.
