Canadian triathlete Tyler Mislawchuk throws up 10 times after racing in Seine River!

Hockey is fun, but so far, the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France has been quite entertaining as well. Canadian triathlete Tyler Mislawchuk left it all out there during the competition, including showing the content of his stomach to everyone present.
Moments after crossing the finish line in Wednesday’s triathlon event, Mislawchuk was seen vomiting on the live TV broadcast. The event included a 1.5-km swim in the Seine River, a 40-km bike ride and 10-km run to finish.

The Canadian Olympian has been going viral since, but would do it all over again he told reporters after losing his lunch on live television.

“I went for it, I have no regrets … vomited 10 times.”

Fans were immediately worried for Mislawchuk’s health, and pretty much any other triathlete who took part in the event, seeing that usually, swimming in the Seine has mostly been banned as people would be at risk of contracting diseases if they accidentally swallowed the polluted water - known for it’s high levels of E.coli. But with France hosting their third Summer Olympics, swimming in the Seine was miraculously allowed despite waters falling numerous tests in the lead up to the Olympics due to rain causing a runoff, and even sewage at times, into the river.

Mislawchuk finished the race in one hour 39 minutes 41 seconds, good for ninth place – an improvement over his 15th place at the Tokyo Summer Games in 2021. Britain’s Alex Yee won the gold medal with a time of 1:43:33, while Hayden Wilde of New Zealand nabbed silver at 1:43:39. France’s Léo Bergere was awarded bronze with a time of 1:43:43.
