Summary
It’s Day 10 of the Olympics and after recovering from the cookie croissant I headed down to Pont Alexandre III to catch the Triathlon Mixed Relay. At 8am the route is already packed full of early birds wanting to catch a glimpse of the relay. I trekked around the course and finished at the bridge to see what I could of the end, which turned out to be a photo finish between Team USA and Great Britain for silver.
Afterwards I made my way to Champions Park at Trocadero and saw fans celebrating various medalists including Novak Djokovic, Teddy Riner and France’s judo team, canoeists and more.
To end the evening I headed back to Tuileries Garden to hang with the crowds enjoying the Olympic Flame floating on a cool, clear night.
