Belgium pull out of the team triathlon event after one of their athletes falls ill.
Belgium have pulled out of the Olympic mixed relay triathlon at Paris 2024 after one of their athletes fell ill.De Standaard, one of Belgium's biggest newspapers, is reporting that the 35-year-old has contracted E coli but BBC Sport has not been able to verify this claim.while the practice swim for the mixed relay was postponed on Sunday for the second day in a row. The mixed relay race is due to take place on Monday morning.
Swimming in the river had been banned for over 100 years because of high levels of pollution and the risk of disease, but French authorities have invested heavily to make the Seine swimmable as part of the Games' legacy.Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo recently swam in the river to highlight the clean-up efforts which have been undertaken and, earlier this month, tests showed the river was clean enough for swimming.
However, heavy rain in Paris on the first Friday and Saturday of the Olympics caused the water quality to decline - although both the men's and women's individual races were able to take place on Wednesday. Team GB have selected Alex Yee - the men's gold medal winner - Georgia Taylor Brown, Sam Dickinson and women's bronze medallist Beth Potter for Monday's event, which can be pushed back to Tuesday if the water quality is not up to standard on Monday.The journey to becoming a sporting legendGB win mixed relay bronze as Netherlands' Bol stuns USA'Bedlam in Bordeaux' - Scuffles break out at end of France-Argentina game.
