Triathlon made its debut at Sydney 2000 offering two gold medals in the men’s and women’s events. Tokyo 2020 sees the introduction of a new event – the Mixed Relay. Ten teams will compete in the race with each one comprising of four athletes: two men and two women. The race will go by in a flash – less than 90 minutes. It’s fast, it’s tactical and it’s exhausting. Each athlete will have to swim for 300m, cycle for 8km and run for 2km before tapping the hand of their teammate to pass the relay.
Summer Rappaport, Hayden Wilde, Kishimoto Niina, Jelle Geens and Taylor Knibb talk to the Olympic Channel about this new event, enjoy watching!
