Dorian Coninx is the world champion in the private swimming triathlon. The 30-year-old fears an event cut short due to pollution in the Parisian river.

He does not yet officially have his ticket for the Olympic Games but, barring a catastrophic scenario, it is just like that. Coninx must compost his precious sesame in the coming weeks for Paris by obtaining a podium at the Abu Dhabi triathlon (March 8) or by getting a top 6 in Yokohama, Japan (May 11)
