Triathlon
An Olympic Triathlon is a multi-sport endurance event that consists of three sequential disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. Athletes begin with a 1.5km swim, typically in open water, followed by a transition to 40km bike ride, and ending with a 10km run to the finish line. There are no heats; the competition is a single race in which the first athlete to cross the finish line is the winner.
