Story goes that the Triathlon was invented when a cyclist, a swimmer and a sprinter were arguing in a bar in Hawaii which one of their sports was more demanding, the bartender commented that if they merged all three sports, then they would have the most demanding sport ever. A few days later the first Triathlon was underway, and none of the three "inventors" won, but some native Hawaiian did.

The first Triathlon was held in San Diego, CA in 1974 by the San Diego Track Club. It was setup as alternate training for swimmers and runners. Forty-six participants took part in that first Triathlon. Two of the participants were a Naval Officer and his wife. They would start the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon in 1978. By the 1980's Triathlon had became the fastest growing sport in the world. In 1988 the International Olympic Committee wanted to add the new sport to the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, but that would have required Triathlon to be governed by the pentathlon federation. Many in the Triathlon community did not like that path and wanted the new sport to have its own governing body. In 1989 the ITU was founded as the international governing body of the sport. In 1996 the IOC voted to add Triathlon to the Sydney 2000 Olympics. So there you go, the history of Triathlon.

because it would only add more unnecessary events to an already overpacked discipline. it would not be fair that countries can ramp up their medal count just by dominating in 1 sport. another example of a ridiculously overpacked discipline is swimming. there are too many unnecessary categories there. just look at freestyle swimming. it has 6 events in it. what is the point of having a distinct 50 m freestyle event and a 100 m freestyle event, while rythmic gymnastics as a whole only has two events. my suggestion is cut down the swimming events (especially freestyle) so it matches up with running (100 m, 200 m, and a long one like 1500 m). oh, and erase breaststroke as a whole because what is the point of racing with the slowest swimming style.

The winner is determined using a highly precise electronic timing and photo finish system. The first competitor who has any part of her torso touch the vertical plane in line with the front edge of the finish line is the winner. These electronic systems are so precise, and extremely well established. There is no subjectivity involved so the determination of a winner is never controversial.

An olympic triathlon consists of 1.5km swimming 40km biking and 10km running, which sums up to 51.5km which is 5.15 million cm and NOT 51.5 million cm. Unless they ran 10 triathlons in 2 hrs, your numbers are inaccurate to say the least.

2:15 got me dead 😂😂😂

You could say “a triathlon is sooo long what a coincidence they finished in a near identical fashion.” But if you think abt it as a marathon, cuz they finish the cycling around the same time. Also they pushed each other to pass the other in the sprint finish... if they had been running without knowledge of the other’s position it might not have been so close.

Cycling races can be just as tight. They can race over 100 miles over 5 or 6 hours and the winner often wins by the width of a tire. Most big pro races have special technology that can detect close finishes like that.

The winner is determined by the finish line photo generated by the electronic timing system. The first one to reach the finish line gets the hold, no matter how large of small the margin of victory may be.

Close finishes are actually not that rare in draft legal triathlons. Because drafting saves energy, the front pack get off the bike almost at the same time. The faster runners then usually form a smaller front pack on the run, with sprint finish to determine the winners. It’s false to say a long distance sport can not have close finishes. Cycling races that are over 100 miles are usually determined by the final sprint with milliseconds separating the winners.

That was so close

Moral of the story : Wear bigger shoes and flowy t shirts so you cross the line first

At the starting of the video Narrator: now a days kids are always on phone Kids: wait a minute if wont be on phone how will we see your video??

India had lost two athletic medals (could've been the first athletic medal ever) by milliseconds. One by PT Usha (1984 LA, 400m hurdles. Lost bronze by one 100th of a second) and another by Milkha Singh (1960 Rome. 400m men's, lost bronze by 0.1 second). We had to wait till 2020 Tokyo to compensate all that through Neeraj Chopra's Gold.

This raises the question: Should the fastest athlete win or the first over the finish. The latter we can determine with the finish photo. The first however we can not.
