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.
See what journalist Louis Pisano has just reported.
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.
