Olympic triathlete hospitalized after swimming in Seine as team withdraws from event​

Belgium's relay team has decided to withdraw from the mixed triathlon competition on Monday after athlete Claire Michel was hospitalized with illness four days after competing in the women's event.

According to Dutch media outlet De Standaard, Michel tested positive for E-coli bacteria following her participation in the women's triathlon on July 31. Her condition has sparked outrage over the unsanitary conditions of Paris' Seine River, where distance swimming events for the 2024 Olympics have been held.

Monday's event was also affected by the delays and cancellations that marathon swimming fans and competitors have become all too familiar with. A planned familiarization swim for the relay competition was called off due to anticipated poor water quality.

This cancellation follows a similar situation for the individual event on July 28, and the postponement of the men's triathlon from Monday to Tuesday. While Michel is the first publicly known hospitalization among swimmers or triathletes, the cleanliness of Paris' main waterway has been under intense scrutiny in the lead-up to this summer's Olympic Games.

The GOAT at 37 & unvaccinated still doing GOAT Things.

The only thing missing from his career was an Olympic Gold Medal.

He won that in grand fashion today (against my other fave player Carlos Alacaraz) who is 18 years younger than Novak.

Novak had knee surgery a couple of weeks prior to Wimbledon, most thought he wouldn't be able to play, making it to the finals before falling to Carlos on Centre Court, which was just completed right before the Olympics.

But today he played knee-wrapped and all like a man inspired by Heaven above. That was not to be denied his first Gold Medal in likely his last chance at it.

And of course he celebrated by basically telling The Olympics to ESAD when after his victory he bowed down to God on the court and raised his hands up to The Lord giving thanks.

Unvaccinated and Unafraid Novak is the LACer of Professional Tennis.

Thanks be to God & WWG1WGA








Always the family man.
