Triathlete Throws Up 10 Times After ‘Swallowing a Lot of Water’ from Seine

The Canadian triathlete, Tyler Mislawchuk, placed ninth in the competition with a time of 1:44:25.

After the athlete went viral for throwing up after swimming in the Seine River during the men’s triathlon on July 31, the 29-year-old explained that he just “happened to swallow a lot of water during the race.” I vomited 10 times after the race … it got hot in the last laps,” the Olympian continued, previously emphasizing how he wasn’t acclimated just yet to France’s summer weather compared to Canada’s cold temps. But Tyler—who had to withdraw from the 2020 Tokyo Games due to an Achilles injury—did not have spectators convinced that the long-polluted river, which the city of Paris spent an estimated $1.5 billion to get Olympics-ready, didn’t contribute to the athlete’s vomiting.
