We have just witnessed a concerning scene, live from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as an athlete named Claire Michel has been hospitalized.
That's not all.
As you probably know, the water quality of the Seine has been a topic of much discussion over the past few days.
And, unfortunately, there might be a connection.
Claire Michel Hospitalized Due to an Infection
See what journalist Louis Pisano has just reported.
«Breaking news: Belgian triathlete Claire Michel has just been hospitalized due to an E.coli infection a few days after her first swim in the Seine. Unfortunately, this means the Belgian team must withdraw from tomorrow's triathlon.»
This is a sad event, and one that could call into question the holding of certain competitions in the Seine.
Around the world, it is currently being reported that an athlete has fallen seriously ill after an event in the Seine. You can guess that many observers are drawing parallels, but let's wait and see.
Le Figaro even outright reports that «the water of the Seine is suspected» as the potential cause of the infection.
For now, let's just hope that Claire Michel can quickly recover and regain her health.
This is a developing story.
Thus, the Belgian team must indeed unfortunately withdraw from the triathlon event.
