High levels of bacteria forced the swimming portion of a triathlon test event for the Tokyo Paralympics to be canceled on Saturday.
It's the second setback in the triathlon for organizers of next year's Olympics and Paralympics. An Olympic triathlon running event was shortened from 10 kilometers to 5 kilometers on Thursday because of what the International Triathlon Union called"extreme levels" of heat.
E-coli bacteria, which normally live in the intestines of animals and people, can produce intestinal pain, diarrhea and a fever. A few days ago the ITU described water quality conditions at the venue as"very good." However, swimmers at a recent distance swimming event at the same venue complained of foul smelling water.
