After days of water-quality concerns caused by heavy rains last week put the swimming portion of the Olympic triathlons in doubt, the women dove into the Seine River on Wednesday under gray skies that lingered following an early-morning drizzle, followed by the men a few hours later.
The athletes began near the Pont Alexandre III, a bridge that spans the famed Paris waterway. The steady rain tapered off just as the athletes splashed into the water. Some dunked their swim goggles in the Seine before putting them on and heading into the river with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
The decision to go ahead with the swim for the triathlon competitions was a big deal for the city, Olympics organizers and the athletes. Officials undertook an ambitious plan, including 1.4 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in infrastructure improvements, to clean up the long-polluted Seine and have been steadfast in their insistence that the swimming portion of the triathlon and the marathon swimming events next week could safely be held in the river.

So this author has a âhighâ bias? And what for?
I think you need to reread that. It doesnât say anything about a âhighâ bias
It says it in the first sentence?
It says âcredibility - highâ
I can read and thatâs not what it says.
Good for you and good luck with reading comprehension bud đ
Iâd love to see you quote what you think youâre reading there.
Just scroll up.
Itâs right there. credibility: high not bias: high
Thank you for being the second person to rewrite the comment I replied to. Super helpful.
Posting it one more time to make sure you actually read the sentence.
Such a helpful bunch around here. You even removed the context when you re-quoted the last part!
Iâm all for a bias fact-check bot post, but Iâm not keen on having to scroll two page lengths to get a few bits of info.
I blocked the TLDR bot already for the same reason. I will probably do the same to this.
That footer needs reformatting at least.
How are you having to scroll two page lengths?

Found a different client. Thanks.
So uhhhh was this a good idea? I saw one of the athletes projectile vomited just after he crossed the finish line which doesnât seem good imo
Vomitting immediately after pushing your body to its limit is fairly normal.
Someone correct me if Iâm wrong, I believe the reason is because your body redirects blood/energy to the most important parts when your body is under strain.
So, if thereâs too much food in your stomache and youâre pushing your body to its absolute limit, the stomache becomes less important as to whether it needs to continue working well. Blood is directed away from the stomache and you will vomit.
This is, at least, what happens when someone goes through shock, Iâm assuming something similar is at play when pushing your body to its limit.
If swimmers end up sick or contracting some diseases, thatâs when we should worry. But we wonât see those effects as immediately as the end of a race.
You are partly right.
In short: The muscles use ATP to make energy, that reaction takes oxygen. When youâre not able to provide enough oxygen for the amount of atp that you want to convert into enrgy your body starts producing lactic acid which ends up in your stomac and you puke.
This is the same thing that happens when you run so much or so fast that you vomit. It means that you are pushing your muscles harder than your lungs can keep up with.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.
I exerted myself to the point of vomiting once, it can definitely happen
Werenât people shitting in the river in protest?
I thought it was the Spanish that shit on everythingâŚ. ^edit: no really have yâall ever heard the Spanish swear? They shit on everything^
I mean with any luck they were swimming in the layer of rain on top for the most part
I think you mean street runoff
is that more or less likely to contain fecal matter in Paris?
Is this the Mr. Beast Games?
