A series of female triathletes had accidents while competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The triathlon is one of the toughest events at the 2024 Paris Olympics and has also seen its fair share of accidents. In the women’s event, a series of accidents have occurred. At least eight athletes have fallen or suffered more serious injuries due to slippery roads after rain in Paris.
Manami Iijima (Guam) was the first athlete to suffer an accident. Vittoria Lopes (Brazil), Lisa Tertsch (Germany), Jolien Vermeylen (Belgium) also suffered similar problems. Host country France’s Leonie Periault and Maria Carolina Velasquez Soto (Colombia) suffered the same fate.
Lotte Miller had two accidents.
Lotte Miller even crashed twice during the cycling stage. The second accident forced the Norwegian rider to retire. Laura Lindemann (Germany) crashed with only three laps left to finish the cycling stage. She was in the leading group but gradually fell behind after the accident.
Commenting on television, former British triathlete Annie Emerson was not satisfied: ” I think Laura Lindemann did nothing wrong. She is strong, technical and a very good person. The road was like grease and that is the cause of many unexpected incidents that we witnessed. I don’t remember a race where so many people had to drop out. ”
Meanwhile, the British Daily Mail commented: ” The women’s triathlon event witnessed chaos and many collisions in the cycling competition. The female athletes were severely affected when cycling after the rain in Paris. The road was very slippery and was one of the causes of the incident .”
The champion in the triathlon was Cassandre Beaugrand (France) with a time of 1 hour 54 minutes 55 seconds. The silver medalist was Julie Derron (Switzerland).
Potter then won the bronze medal, while the world champion took a place on the podium behind France’s Cassandre Beaugrand and Switzerland’s Julie Derron. Beth Potter (Britain) was the bronze medallist.
