Training took place
Auböck and Co. in the “stinking” Seine for the first time
The open water swimmers were able to train in the Seine for the first time on Wednesday after a cancellation the day before. However, getting to know the Olympic waters was not a pleasure.
"It stinks. The sun is shining on it, the smell is there. The current will be a bit calmer by Friday. The weather forecast is good. No additional bacteria will be washed in," reported OSV sports director Walter Bär.
"Tastes rock solid"
Felix Auböck and Jan Hercog will not do another session before the 10 km competition on Friday. "We'll go to the pool tomorrow. Jumping in there again is also a risk of swallowing water that you don't necessarily want to swallow," said Bär. The water quality in the Seine, where the triathlon competitions also took place, has been causing problems since the start of the Games. Germany's swimmer Florian Wellbrock takes it with humor. "It tasted rock solid."
