After learning of the World Triathlon’s decision to postpone the triathlon event of the Paris Olympic Games until this Wednesday due to the poor quality of the water of the Seine River, the first reactions to said resolution cannot be missed.
One of them came from Benjamin Maze, national technical director of the French triathlon team. Once it was learned that the teams would have to wait at least a day to conduct their test, Maze expressed this Tuesday morning that “there was a little anger and a lot of frustration” among the athletes.
“Inevitably there is a bit of anger and a lot of frustration,” Benjamin Maze admitted to FranceInfo. However, the technical director of the French Federation stated that they have prepared the athletes for this type of situation. “We work a lot with psychologists, mental coaches in this dimension. We focus on what can be controlled and dominated, what we can impact,” he explained.
On the other hand, the Olympic teams learned about the decision to postpone the test at around four in the morning. After canceling the previous practice due to poor water quality, the men’s triathlon event has finally been rescheduled for this Wednesday at 10:45 am, although still waiting for possible updates or changes that could happen this Tuesday.
