We have faced a certain scepticism for several years now and this morning was the best response. We said we would hold the triathlon in the River Seine 10 years ago and we did it,
It was a challenge; we had a plan, we stuck to it and it was good that we did because we succeeded.”
We have reversed the tide of history, more than 100 years of history during which the Seine was considered almost as a sewer. That is an enormous satisfaction for us. We had a bet and it paid off. A symbolic line has been crossed,
We don’t play with the health of anyone, especially not the health of athletes. It’s not a game, it’s a scientific process and we follow the regulations. There is no question of a conspiracy. We are dealing with facts,

I’m just trying to focus on what I can control,
The results of the latest water analyses, received at 3.20am, have been assessed as compliant by World Triathlon allowing for the triathlon competitions to take place,
I don’t really have any words for the last two hours that we just experienced. That was every single possible adverse weather condition, you know, a high current, rain, heat, humidity, like it was just everything and the crowds,
