Olympic silver medalist Katie Grimes of Team USA admitted she was nervous about swimming in the River Seine during the 2024 Paris Olympics
Olympic silver medalist Katie Grimes isn’t interested in a repeat performance of the women’s 10km marathon swimming final.
“I was a little nervous before I got in, just hoping that I didn’t get sick,” Grimes, 18, told TMZ in an interview published on Thursday, August 22. “But I honestly didn’t think about it once while I was racing and I didn’t get sick at all afterwards, so I’m really grateful for that.” “The river was definitely a challenge. I’ve never had to swim with a current like that before. But it was such a historic race and something I’ll never forget,” Grimes added.
Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen joked about having to swim in the Seine via TikTok. “Guys if I don’t survive this, tell my fans I love them 🫶🏼,” Christiansen, 27, captioned an August 7 video of him practicing for a race in the Seine.
