Diarrhea, vomiting
Three German swimmers fall ill after Seine race
Three out of four German starters suffered health problems during the Olympic open water swimming races in the Seine. However, the Austrians Felix Auböck and Jan Hercog, who competed in the 10 km race on Friday, are free of symptoms, as OSV sports director Walter Bär announced on Saturday in response to an APA inquiry.
The Germans are not well. "Two German open water swimmers were treated as outpatients yesterday for nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. They have been feeling much better again since this morning," the German Olympic Sports Confederation announced. "Another swimmer with similar symptoms is currently being treated by the German team doctors."
The name of the swimmer was not disclosed. The German European champion Leonie Beck had previously made her symptoms public. The 27-year-old wrote in English on Instagram that she had vomited nine times and also reported diarrhea. Beck also posted a picture showing her slightly groggy and with her thumb up. After her competition, Beck said: "I hope we don't get anything from this."
There had already been a lot of discussion about the water quality in the large Parisian river during the Olympic Games surrounding the triathlon competitions.
An open water training session was also canceled because the water quality was too poor. However, according to the organizers, the water quality was good enough for a training session on Wednesday and the women's race on Thursday and the men's race on Friday with the Austrians Jan Hercog and Felix Auböck, who finished far behind.
