Triathlon

Triathlon is a sport that consists of three parts, swimming, cycling and running.
Athletes race against each other. They swim first, cycle second and run last.
Triathlon became an Olympic Sport in 2000 at the Sydney Summer Olympics in
Australia. In the Olympics athletes swim for 1.5 km, cycle for 40 km and then
run for 10 km. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics in China the women’s gold medal in
triathlon was won by an Australian, Emma Snowsill, who completed the race in
just under two hours. Jan Frodeno from Germany won the men’s gold medal; he
finished the race in one hour and 48 minutes.

A popular triathlon event is the Sprint Triathlon. It is a shorter race. It is half the
distance of the triathlon of the Olympics. In the Sprint Triathlon athletes swim
for 750 metres, cycle for 20 km and run for 5 km. If you think that this is too
short for you, you can try the Ironman Triathlon. In the Ironman competition
athletes swim for 3.86 km, cycle for 180 km and then run for 42.2 km! The
fastest athletes can finish an Ironman Triathlon in just over eight hours!
