As the name suggests, Triathlon is an event comprising three different sports in Asian Games 2006. Comprising swimming, cycling and running competitions, Triathlon involves an uninterrupted contest in these three sports. The only time available to athletes is the time required to change equipment.
The equipment is stocked at a particular spot on the ground. Athletes have to keep their things ready for a back-to-back performance. They cannot afford to waste time, as it'll lead to reduction in points.
For a Triathlon, participating teams in Doha Asian Games will comprise the best athletes who are capable of delivering standout performances in all three disciplines.
It is necessary for a Triathlon athlete to have amazing endurance powers, agility, strength and speed. And, the most important factor is the ability to make a quick transition from one to the other discipline.
In fact, it is the very first time that a Triathlon event will be competed for at Asian Games 2006. The event will incorporate a 1500-meter swimming competition, a 40-km cycle race and a 10-km running competition.
