A Belgian woman who won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics has become sick after racing on polluted Guanabara Bay, the first sailor to fall ill from the waters that were subject to great scrutiny leading to the Rio Games. Evi Van Acker reported feeling sick after Wednesday’s races, the governing body World Sailing said. ”Evi caught a bacteria in early July that causes dysentery,” coach Wil Van Bladel said.
