PARIS – Three German swimmers became ill after competing in the open water races at the Paris Olympics, though it was not immediately clear if the long-polluted Seine River was responsible for their sickness.
“Vomited 9 times yesterday + diarrhea,” she posted, before adding sarcastically, “Water quality in the Seine is approved,” accompanied by a check mark.“Two female German open water swimmers were treated as outpatients for nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. They have been feeling much better since this morning,” the statement said. “Another swimmer with similar symptoms is currently being treated by the German team doctors.
Paris organizers and World Aquatics, the governing body for open water swimming, released testing figures that showed the water quality was well within the accepted limits deemed safe. There was a backup plan to move marathon swimming to the Olympic rowing and canoeing basin if the testing showed levels of E. coli and another form of bacteria exceeded those limits.
Though Beck clearly believes her illness was caused by the river, the German Olympic committee said the testing showed it was “feasible” to go ahead with the two races.
