The Spanish triathlon does not understand: “it is incomprehensible that there is no Plan B”

Mixed River. He never said better. The triathlon event at the Paris Olympics has become A headache for the organization, countries, spectators and athletes. After the second postponement, because the waters of the Seine are not suitable for the swimming phase, the nerves begin to get lost. And early in the morning, at three o’clock in the morning, the delegations will receive the final answers. If the water passes the cut you will swim , if not the test will become a duathlon.

The brand name He spoke to the coach of the captain of the Spanish triathlon team, Roberto S. Roberto Seguela, One of the teachers of the preparation of athletes in Spain and in the world does not lose his temper. “We have a sport that is very vulnerable to environmental changes and this makes us accustomed, but it is Strange and incomprehensible that the organization does not have a plan B.It doesn’t make sense. I think open water goes for swimming in the canal, but in triathlon it was on the Seine or nothing.”

The question everyone is asking is whether this will affect athletes so much: “The key will be to control anxiety, the one who adapts better to this situation will bring a lot of gains. It’s obviously not perfect, but we have a team of warriors and they will cope with everything that exists.”In fact, during the day Tuesday the team worked as if it were the day before the competition again , with the nuance that they would not be able to touch the bikes: “We swam in the pool this morning and in the afternoon we will work on the race, what the organization has closed is the option of bicycles because they are already in the race area and cannot be touched.”

The Spanish team is trying to abstract itself from the inconveniences caused by the pollution of the Seine, and despite the fact that the options are not high, the prospect of hanging the stage to nothing would give Roberto severniches Mantic Ocean the opportunity to fight for Olympic diplomas. “We have to be realistic and believe that Roberto is a warrior and will fight to the end. Something similar happened to him with the suspension of swimming in Chicago at the Junior World Championships a few years ago and he took fourth place. In the race he is one of the best on the track, so if he holds out on the bike in a good group, then there are options for obtaining a diploma.”
