Athletistic/OI-2024. International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has expressed his views on the triathlon competitions at the Paris Olympic Games.

“The triathlon was sensational, or, if you prefer, ‘Sensational’. I don’t know how clear my expression is, but I tried,” Bach quotes RIA Novosti.

The triathlon competitions at the Olympic Games began on July 31. Due to water quality issues in the Seine, swimming training and men’s competitions were postponed. On the first day of swimming, two participants in the 2024 Games, Canadian Tyler Mislavchuk and Kazakh Ekaterina Shabalina, felt sick after the finish. Swedish triathlete Tilda Monsson also expressed dissatisfaction with the color and “nauseating smell” of the Seine water.
