Belgium Pulls Out of Swimming Event After Athlete Reportedly Contracts E Coli
Belgium has pulled out of the 2024 Paris Olympics mixed relay triathlon at Paris 2024 after Claire Michel fell ill.
The 35-year-old athlete competed in the women’s triathlon days ago and came in 38th place. De Standaard reports that she contracted E coli, via BBC News.
The poor water quality of the Seine was a major issue discussed before and during the Olympics, and the cause of the men’s triathlon to be delayed by a day. The practice swim for the mixed relay was also postponed on Sunday (August 4) for the second day in a row.
