Triathlon!, also known as triathlon, is one of the sports and belongs to the emerging multi-sport competition. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The competition consists of three events in natural waters: swimming, road cycling, and road running, and athletes need to complete the race in one go.

Triathlon originated in the United States.

In 1974, a group of sports officials gathered in a bar in the Hawaigha Islands to argue: Which sport in the world is the most exciting, challenging, and testing of the will and physical fitness?

Some say it's rugby, some say it's swimming across the sea, some say it's football, some say it's long-distance cycling, mountaineering marathon, etc., they have their own opinions and arguments.

In the end, it was suggested that whoever can swim 3.8 kilometers in the rough sea in one day, ride a bicycle for 180 kilometers around the island, and finally run a 42.195-kilometer marathon without stopping in the middle is a real iron man.

The idea was well received, and the next day 15 people participated, including one woman.

That's it.

A new type of sport that challenges nature and overcomes oneself was born in this dramatic, adventurous situation.

After the race, people called this multi-sport event that combines swimming, cycling and long-distance running in succession and provides a challenge for the athletes' fitness, speed and technique.

The event was posthumously recognized as the first World Triathlon Championship. It is a meaningful sport.

After the birth of triathlon in Hawaila, it was initially only popular in Hawaila and California, and then gradually became widely practiced in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France, Britain, Japan, China and other countries.

The most exciting and challenging sport in the world is the Triathlon!

Triathlon is a sport that embodies a lifestyle, it exudes vitality and charm, it is "fresh", "young", "energetic", but also "hard", "demanding" and "exhausting".

The difficulty of this competition is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

Let's put it this way, as the origin of this event, Xia Weihe's triathlon competition was held not many years ago, and I know that today, there is still no Chinese athlete who is qualified to participate!

In other words, no domestic professional athletes can compete in the highest triathlon event.

Some people may wonder why the Olympic Games are not the highest triathlon event.

That's because the triathlon at the Olympics wasn't a real triathlon at all!

And the rules are relatively reduced a lot, in the eyes of real ironmen, the triathlon competition in the Olympics is just a child's play!

Of course, this time the triathlon in Haiwei City is also in accordance with the Olympic rules.

This time the distance was not the standard distance for the Hawaila Triathlon Championships: 3.8 km for swimming, 180 km for cycling and 42.195 km for marathon.

Rather, it is the Olympic standard distance (51.5 km): 1.5 km for swimming, 40 km for cycling, and 10 km for long-distance running.

After all, there may not be anyone who can complete the "big iron" in China!

The triathlon, as the name suggests, has three events, swimming is the first event in the eventing, and the athletes start from the starting point and dive at the same time. They follow a triangular route marked by buoys and ropes, and are penalized if anyone takes a shortcut.

Athletes can swim in any position they like, but virtually all athletes opt for freestyle.

Immediately after coming ashore from the water, the athletes are switched to cycling.

In the cycling stage, the entire race must be completed by bicycle. However, if there is a problem with the tire, the athlete can take the car to the tyre changing station to change the tire.

Normally, athletes have to change their own tires, but at the Olympics they were trained to do the job, and they were assigned to serve in six tyre changing stations along the track.

Following, which is common in other events, is not allowed in a true triathlon! Until 1995, cyclists were forbidden to use the air currents of the runners in front of them, because it was considered unfair to the runners in front of them.

The rider had to envision a rectangle 10 meters long and 3 meters wide that surrounds it as an airflow zone.

They can't let their airflow zone overlap with other athletes' unless they want to overtake.

But law enforcement agencies found it extremely difficult to enforce the rule, so in 1995 they repealed the rule and allowed riders to borrow from each other freely.

But in reality, there is an unwritten rule among riders that restricts everyone from borrowing the wind, and anyone who breaks the rules will quickly lose the respect of others.

Of course, in the triathlon of Havie, that is, the highest triathlon, it is still not allowed to follow!

The most important rule of the long-distance running stage of the triathlon is that the athlete must use his or her own feet to complete the race.

This one sounds like nonsense!

But in some memorable triathlons, especially the toughest triathlon in Hawaie, there was a time when Michelle Moss climbed the finish line.

This hasn't happened since!

Because, the person who finishes the race like that can't be called an iron man!

From the rules, you can see how difficult the triathlon race is!

Known as the "crown of extreme sports", the event is now being sought after by more and more elites, and even private events are gradually increasing.

Xiao Ran was able to complete the marathon before, but this does not mean that Xiao Ran can complete the triathlon, Xiao Ran has not received a professional swimming competition, nor has he received professional bicycle training!

These two are not track and field events at all!

Cycling may be better, although cycling does not belong to track and field events, but the attributes of track and field can give a certain blessing, but swimming is different.

Not only do you have to rely on your legs and waist, but you also have to rely on the strength of your arms, and more importantly, if you don't have skills, you won't be able to swim fast at all!

This is also the reason why Xiao Ran told Mo Yuning that when he was going to participate in a triathlon, Mo Yuning looked down on him.

This is not contempt, but Xiao Ran at this time is really not good! Without skill training, it is not feasible to rely on brute force!

What's more, there are all kinds of rules for triathlons, as well as all kinds of other tricks, such as changing clothes! People who are really trained can complete the change of clothes from swimming to cycling in 30 seconds, but those who have not been trained are estimated to take three minutes......

The most important thing is that Xiao Ran took a look at the system just now, and the system does not have the sport of triathlon at all!
