Speaking of triathlon, I believe that the Mixed Relay event is a proper way to add an event to the Olympics, not this Team event that Figure Skating has. First, they picked an event that had some history even if it was quite young and then they started adding it to their various Championships. So it is something athletes train for the entire quad even if it's not as serious or as well-known as the traditional events.Schedule

I was just popping on to say I am GRIPPED BY IT.Think the triathlon relay could be more exciting than the individual triathlons.
4 people and each one does all three parts of the event. France really made up time and are now in 2nd, but the Brits are going to be hard to catch for gold. Those little times of getting shoes on and off are key. Or maybe not!Does the triathalon relay work with a different person doing each type of event? Or are there multiple people doing each?

Each person does the whole thing and hands off to the next team mate who does the whole thing...They seem quite close at the moment!
So they all do the whole triathalon and then hand off? Or like one person swims and then hands off to another person who swims, etc?
Well, that was fun. How fast can you put on your shoes?
I wonder what other sport the athlete has to train putting on shoes.I feel like, if I tried to put on my shoes that fast, I would definitely put them on funny so it would hurt to run.
It's been in the World Championships for a while but this is the first time it's been in the Olympics.I was gripped before GBR went into the lead even, is this a new event?I just cant remember it before?
They have special laces.I feel like, if I tried to put on my shoes that fast, I would definitely put them on funny so it would hurt to run.
GB trips into the hurdle
They have special laces.Seriously, if you use the special laces, it can cut 30 seconds off your transition.
OMG is NBC setting a fluff length record with the length of fluff on Dalilah Muhammad? Normally these things are short!
