Beppe Grillo Becomes Last Athlete To Represent Malta At 2024 Paris Olympics

Aug 3 2024

Architecture student and local sprinter, Beppe Grillo has become the last athlete to represent Malta at the 2024 Paris Olympics, by placing fifth in his 100m heat.

Grillo participated in the sixth heat of the preliminary round against another 7 athletes and ended up in 5th position, a disappointing result for Grillo who had the second personal best time amongst all the other sprinters.

This was not enough to qualify for the next round, with Grillo needing a top 2 place to continue his Olympic journey.

Grillo crossed the finish line with a 10.69 seconds, 0.46 seconds slower than his national record of 10.23 he set at the Balkan Championships in May.

A big well done still has to go to Beppe Grillo who despite not obtaining the result he would have wanted, made everyone in Malta proud by representing the tiny island to his best on the grandest stage of them all.

Olympic Triathlete Vomits 10 Times After Seine River Swim

Aug 3 2024

Tyler Mislawchuk, a Canadian triathlete, went viral after vomiting 10 times following the men’s triathlon at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The incident occurred after he swallowed a significant amount of water while swimming in the Seine River, which left his stomach overly full.

Mislawchuk explained that this, combined with the intense physical exertion of the race, led to his post-race sickness. Despite the unpleasant aftermath, he managed to finish 9th in the competition.

Mislawchuk, who previously withdrew from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to an Achilles injury, expressed no regrets about his effort, stating, “I have no ‘what ifs’ on the day, I went for it.”

The weather, much warmer than what he’s used to in Canada, also played a role in his condition during the race.

The Seine River’s water quality was questioned, especially after heavy rain led to unsafe levels of fecal matter, delaying the race.

Although Paris officials assured the water’s safety, some athletes, including Belgian triathlete Jolien Vermeylen, criticised the decision to hold the swim in the Seine, citing concerns over its cleanliness.
