Familiarisation trails in the River Seine for the marathon swimming events went ahead as planned Wednesday after more delays over water pollution. This came as a New Zealand swimmer said he was sick with E.coli-like symptoms after swimming the river for the triathlon last week.
New Zealand triathlete Hayden Wilde, who won silver in the triathlon last week, said that he and another teammate fell ill with E.coli symptoms in the two days after swimming in the River Seine during last week’s men’s triathlon.
