London 2012 #Olympic Triathlon

This coming 9 am, 4th Aug (Women’s Triathlon) and 11:30am 7th August (Men’s Triathlon) Countries from all over the world will be racing for Gold, Silver and Bronze  in the triathlon event. It is going to be a fast paced race with all the accomplished athletes racing for their country.

Just FYI: There are no heats in the Triathlon; both the men’s and women’s events consist of a single race.  So who will you be rooting for ? My Take will be New Zealand for Gold, GBR for Silver and US of A for bronze for the mens race. Agreed?

As host nation.. I will post their competing athletes here

And here are the round up forBritish Men triathlon team

• Alistair Brownlee – 24. World champion in 2009 and 2011,  yet to race in 2012 while recovering from Achilles tear
• Jonny Brownlee – 22. Finished second in world behind Alistair last year, won 2012 San Diego and Madrid races in brother’s absence
