Belgium’s Olympic committee announced that it would withdraw its team from the mixed relay triathlon after one of its competitors who swam in the Seine fell ill
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
