Triathlon

Triathlon is the definition of a triple-threat sport, combining swimming, cycling and running into the ultimate test of endurance. Olympic Triathlon features a single race format with a 1.5km swim, 40km bike ride and 10km run, rewarding the competitor who finishes the fastest. Beyond mastery of three unique sports, Triathlon also requires precise and efficient transitions, creating make-or-break moments for spectators. With a unique demand for energy preservation and strategic speed, the Triathlon is nonstop excitement from start to finish. A sport born in Southern California in 1974, the Triathlon made its Olympic debut in the 2000 Games and will return to its roots for LA28.
