History of Triathlon
Triathlon is thought to be the fastest-growing individual sport in the UK.
It attracts a wide range of athletes because it combines three different disciplines.
The sport developed from the fitness craze that swept California in the early 1970s, and the first race was held in San Diego in 1974.
Triathlon at the Games
Triathlon made its Games debut at Sydney 2000, where half a million spectators lined the streets to watch the event. Since then, the sport has continued to grow in popularity around the world, producing world class athletes on every continent.
