League: Matty Johns was emotional as he shared the epic story which began mending his relationship with brother Andrew Johns.
Paris Olympics organisers said that training for open water swimming in the River Seine had been cancelled due to pollution, raising questions over why triathletes were allowed to use the waterway the day before.
A general view of athletes swimming in the Seine River during Women's Individual Triathlon on day five of the Olympic Game.Ever since the Seine was chosen the Olympic triathlon and marathon swimming, French authorities have been in a race against time to clean up the waterway. The Paris 2024 organising committee suggested that the triathlon race went ahead on Monday while marathon swimming training was cancelled on Tuesday because the two sports are overseen by different governing bodies, World Triathlon and World Aquatics.
The Belgian team did not race in the mixed relay on Monday after their athlete Claire Michel fell sick having swum in the Seine during the women’s individual triathlon last Wednesday. When asked to describe each Games success, he said: “Beijing - youth; London - transcendence, Rio - effort; Tokyo - sacrifice; Paris - joy.” “To achieve all of these results, one has to love their sport, love their job, and demonstrate to the world that with so little you can achieve great things,” he added.
