Some facts & figures on the #triathlon competition at the Olympic Games ahead of #London2012

– In the previous three Olympic test events for Sydney, Athens and Beijing – the winner of the test event has never won the Olympic gold. But at the past two Olympic Games – the bronze medallist from the men’s test event has gone on to win bronze in the Olympic race. Sven Riederer (SUI) in Athens and Bevan Docherty (NZL) in Beijing. Other test event medallists who have gone on to medal in the Olympic version include Vanessa Fernandes (POR) and Emma Snowsill (AUS). Fernandes beat Snowsill in the Beijing test event, before Snowsill turned the tables at the Games. Also the entire women’s podium from Sydney 2000 had medalled in the test event earlier that year: Brigitte McMahon (SUI), Michellie Jones (AUS), and Magali Di Marco (SUI), just in a different order.
