Mislawchuk speaks out after capturing vomiting in the live film.
In an interview with Marca, Mislawchuk revealed that he vomited “10 times” and described the final portion of the race as “deadly.”
He attributed part of his distress to having recently recovered from an Achilles tear, a significant injury that often hinders athletes’ careers.
“I came back from an Achilles tear, which many athletes never recover from,” Mislawchuk explained to the Canadian Press. “Being able to stand at the start line, healthy and fit, was a victory in itself. I was advised to enjoy the race, and that’s what I did.”

Mislawchuk expressed his emotional state post-race during the interview. He also emphasized that his ninth-place finish was a significant achievement given his recent injury.
He reflected on the mental and physical challenges he faced during the past three years due to his Achilles injury.
“It wasn’t just the ninth place that made me emotional; it was overcoming the doubts and struggles from the past three years,” he said. “I pushed myself to the limit, often telling myself to hold on for just 20 more seconds.”
Concerns over River pollution for athlete’s health
Mislawchuk’s sickness led to speculation following reports of high pollution levels in the Seine.
Previously, the triathlon event was postponed hours before its start due to elevated pollution levels.
However, French officials had tried to address this after investing around $1.5 billion in river safety improvements.
A June test revealed dangerous levels of E.coli bacteria in the river.
