“Katie Grimes admitted that, prior to entering the Seine River at the Olympics earlier this month, she was concerned about factors beyond her competitors. In an interview with Newsafro.com, she revealed that she was ‘nervous’ about the cleanliness of the water. The E. coli levels in Paris’ iconic river had been a major topic of discussion leading up to the Games, with significant investments made to ensure it was safe for athletes to swim in during the Olympiad.”
“On race days, officials determined that the water was safe for competitors. However, Grimes noted that when it was her turn to compete in the marathon event on August 7, concerns about the water’s cleanliness were still on her mind.”
