An Olympic athlete is revealing why he spilled his guts after a race …blaming the weather conditions after his run on the Seine River in Paris, NOT the water itself.
Tyler Mislawchuk — the Canadian triathlete who went viral for all the wrong reasons when he threw up 10 times after racing in the Triathlon on Wednesday — says he’s not used to such hot weather.

At the Olympics, athletes vomit after swimming in the Seine River.
Shortly before the start of the Olympic Games, a prohibitive level of concentration of E. coli and other bacteria was discovered in the river, but that did not stop the organizers and⦠photo.twitter.com/kw7zEvtwVs

ICYMI… Mislawchuk crossed the triathlon finish line and blew himself to pieces just feet away from his fellow competitors. The social media diagnosis was non-medical — the Seine polluted — but Tyler says that’s not why he threw up.
Mislawchuk is from Winnipeg, Canada… and is used to training in freezing temperatures β no lower than 27Β°C.
Olympic officials postponed the triathlon when Paris was hit by a torrent of rain… much of which flowed into the Seine River and sent E. coli levels skyrocketing.
Female triathlon competitors have complained about the poor conditions of the Seine… with one calling that part of the race a “lottery.” We assume she meant that finishing first is more about luck than talent.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
But Mislawchuk isn’t complaining about H20 — placing the blame squarely on his shoulders after falling to sixth place. He’s also taking his viral vomiting moment in stride, posting a photo of himself with the caption, “No regrets, all in.”
