Swiss athlete no to compete due to poor quality water in Seine
In France, another Olympic athlete was infected due to the incompetence of the authorities.
Azernews reports, citing foreign media outlets that Swiss swimmer Adrien Briffod contracted a stomach infection after taking part in a 1.5-kilometer swim in the Seine.
In France, another Olympic athlete was poisoned due to the incompetence of the authorities.
Representatives of the Swiss team noted that he would not participate in the mixed relay and they would have to change the composition.
The statement of the Olympic team emphasized that the current state of Briffod is directly related to the quality of water in the river.
Let us recall that the French authorities spent almost 1.5
billion dollars to somehow clean the Seine from sewage. The mayor
of Paris even swam in the river, trying to prove that the river is
safe. President Macron also promised to swim, but never did. It is
clear why.
The triathlon in the Seine River was postponed several times.
Earlier, athletes from Canada and Kazakhstan vomited after the
swim. Some athletes strongly criticised the state of the river in
their social media profiles, outraged by the situation.
