It’s so strange, the olympics are all about excellence and striving for being the best, but swimming in polluted water is deemed ok and almost shrugged at.
Bacteria levels deemed safe. So why aren’t they broadcasting the actual levels? Could it be their safety level is over 5x what most of the world considers safe?
These world class athletes are just better and stronger than us, so they can totally tolerate 5x the safe level. Maybe even 10x! It may be true that we don’t know how many times more they can take! A million? These are important questions that we must answer.
So it begins…
Poop water
Billions well spent…
Was it due to the pollution? Or something else?
If more fall ill, it will have been because of the river’s e. coli levels, causes gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea. One thing I was reading about the other day is that top athletes, while super healthy, are more vulnerable to infections, because sports stress suppresses the immune system.
PS: it was two triathletes from the same team and one is hospitalized
Also I imagine they swallow far more water
Even if it wasn’t, everyone knew and said it wasn’t clean enough.
The rumors say they other athletes are trying to hold their shit together so they can at least participate in the next event, but they’re not at peak performance anymore.
trying to hold their shit together

Lol, losers… by which I mean the French government… again…
First filthy river denial, then religios headwear, then the hitting the fan.
I reckon hosting the olympics is a wasteful nightmare, but also paris is a toilet.
E. Coli for the gold.
