At the 2004 Summer Olympics , the ''' Triathlon ''' events were held at the Vouliagmeni Olympic Centre . Fifty triathletes contested the female event on August 25 , and the same number contested the male event on August 26 , making up a total of 100 competitors. Each competitor starts the event with a 1500 metre swim course, followed by a 40 kilometre Road Bicycle Race and finish with a 10 kilometre Road Run . Both leg transitions (swimming—cycling and cycling—running) are performed on a special transition area, under judge's scrutiny and the duration of the transition is added to the final time. A pre-Olympic test event was staged over the Olympic course in October 2003, and saw Denmark 's Rasmus Henning and Australia 's Michellie Jones winning the men's and women's events. MEDALISTS MEDAL TABLE RESULTS Women All fifty female triathletes finished the swimming course, however only forty-five made the transition for the running leg and forty-four finished the entire competition. Gold medallist Kate Allen was in the 28th place after the second leg of the triathlon, coming from behind to pass Loretta Harrop and win the race by less than seven seconds. Men EXTERNAL LINKS |
