sewer river, gross😂
Waiting for Macron’s “This is France” tweet
Swim in the sewer😭
Hahaha would they sue Olympic? Nop and Olympic said is your fault
I bet all the swimmer's get stomach bug's
Swimmers can get inside a leak proof diving suit with kirby morgan helmets. So their body wont have any contact with the water, call it as evolution of triathlon sport
Which will win 2.8 billion dollars and 2 year clean up. Or over 300 years of sewage?
And ? Why weren't they scheduled for Nice or Marseille ? .
The stage was also a sewer at the opening ceremony
Must see Shimanto river!
mock God and christianity and see what happens 🤷🏻 black out, train attack and bad river water
Paris really couldn’t have done it worse.
I hope no one gets sick and if they do, hold the water tester accountable. The water looks terrible.
My boyfriend has a French friend (lives in Paris) that said he wouldn’t ever even dip a toe into the Seine river… That says something. 😅
France is sick on many levels
WHY HAVE THE OLYMPICS IN FRANCE???????????
They should pray to creator for a miracle…oh wait, i forgot. They prefer mocking the creator….
Lots of class France, just a shame it’s all lower.
OMG terrible!
Terrible host
floaters, brown, stew, oui oui
Failed at long term strategic planning
What’s a little feces between friends?
Under Paris
I remember not so long ago people were worried about walking into supermarkets without masks and now they are swimming in sewage?
First the worst Olympic games of all those held, second France!
Olympics are trash just like the water.
Imagine how afraid the athletes must be to catch something in that water that could possibly cause them permanent damages, just because Paris/France is trying so hard to push for this.
like developed country
Cancel this Olympics!
Worst Olympics Ever 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Most disgusting Olympics ever..paris 2024 is the worst Olympics ever
And the paris olympic fiasco lists continue 😎
This Olympics has been a sewer whats the difference.
Nasty brutal horrible our kids cannot watch the olympics anymore
Yeah no. Health and safety come before events. Even the olympics. If it was too dirty for the barges before cleaning, it is no where NEAR safe to swim in. Literal sewage. This is so irresponsible.
Absolutely horrific treatment of Shame on the OC shame on France.
It's utter disgusting that reach G7 country downplay the seriousness of the filthy water.
If was a so call third world country it would have been condemned for life.
Why would they swim in this dirty water? How can they put the swimmers in risk of getting infected in this river? They seemed to be so selfish and stupid.
