huh me too what a coincidence

I thought you were going to say... And I'm not coming out!

Same I've been up since 12am it's almost 3am now still watching them

same lol

Sameee

Obviously

Bro having a silver olympic medal is better than finishing in the 33rd place

@@prabhsimranjeetsingh4562 but when you were stripped of gold by a millisecond that's sharp

@@irrelevance3859 No one was “stripped” of anything.

losing

it was actually invented by a thief who went to the pool by foot and came back on a bike.

The first Triathlon was held in San Diego, CA in 1974 by the San Diego Track Club. It was setup as alternate training for swimmers and runners. Forty-six participants took part in that first Triathlon. Two of the participants were a Naval Officer and his wife. They would start the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon in 1978. By the 1980's Triathlon had became the fastest growing sport in the world. In 1988 the International Olympic Committee wanted to add the new sport to the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, but that would have required Triathlon to be governed by the pentathlon federation. Many in the Triathlon community did not like that path and wanted the new sport to have its own governing body. In 1989 the ITU was founded as the international governing body of the sport. In 1996 the IOC voted to add Triathlon to the Sydney 2000 Olympics. So there you go, the history of Triathlon.

Naruto fan?

I heard it. :D

Jag tog det som en förolämpning

For the British people who thinks this is easy to mistake, then imagine if someone called a CLEARLY Scottish colored athlete with "SCO" on her clothes. "Welsh" :)

It literally sounds like bolt

Legend...!! 😀😀

@The Danish Physicist a matter of boob size then xD

@@m1r3o hard thing to find in female triathletes

@@m1r3o the flatter the better actually

that would slow her down

Taruli Luli yeah, I think so too, after all, they had the same time

this isn't kindergarten not everyone wins.

It's the Olympics... There has to be a champion...

There can be multiple silvers and golds but there should be only one gold

Yeah, and after that we'll have the Olympics for lefties -- gold for everybody, no athlete left behind.

i died when you said they averaged 250km/h

yep, its exactly 5.15 mil cm haha

that's because they don't have Olympics of simple multiplication.

Didn't even notice, what a poorly made video

....... because one of them came in first...

They did I was just thinking of that

Dominik Piper: Because there will always be a difference in time no matter how close it is...

Dominik Piper, I agree.

You can only measure time differences down to a certain level of precision. It is possible though unlikely that two people finish with a time difference less than what is measurable.

This isn’t kindergarten where everyone gets a medal for “good effort”.

Why stop at 2? Why not say they all won? Why discriminate at 2? Participation prize for everyone. Lol.

@@tennis5126 sure, arguing that 2 triathletes who finished within 1ms from each other should be given the same time is the same as saying everyone should be given the same time. Genius.

Yeah nah the tape is just there to look pretty, it actually has no function in determining the winner

because it would only add more unnecessary events to an already overpacked discipline. it would not be fair that countries can ramp up their medal count just by dominating in 1 sport. another example of a ridiculously overpacked discipline is swimming. there are too many unnecessary categories there. just look at freestyle swimming. it has 6 events in it. what is the point of having a distinct 50 m freestyle event and a 100 m freestyle event, while rythmic gymnastics as a whole only has two events. my suggestion is cut down the swimming events (especially freestyle) so it matches up with running (100 m, 200 m, and a long one like 1500 m). oh, and erase breaststroke as a whole because what is the point of racing with the slowest swimming style.

Mixed 4x4 will be in the 2020 games

EdwardCS001 This is so true. Swimming just has wayyy to many events.

That’s because people actually want to watch the swimming. Never in my live have I heard anyone say do you know what’s sounds like a good idea let’s watch rhythmic gymnastics haha

@@eduarddv00 oh and tell me have you ever swum all of the events? have you ever thought that breaststroke requires the most difficult technique and a lot of strength? before you say anything, better know what you're talking about

He reminds me a bit of Andy Serkis no?

erine Serrano

MC Serrano sound a LITTLE like Usain ya know

plazasta Doesn't sound even remotely like Serkis. Sounds more like Boyega, but I doubt it's him.

It’s definitely no John boyega!

That was Ryf

Silicosis the pubescent I did 😂

Hitting the banner yes, but it could be wavy or not at chest height. It's an indication of winning not the true measure.

The winner is determined using a highly precise electronic timing and photo finish system. The first competitor who has any part of her torso touch the vertical plane in line with the front edge of the finish line is the winner. These electronic systems are so precise, and extremely well established. There is no subjectivity involved so the determination of a winner is never controversial.

@@CharmsDad Why is it torso? Why isn't it any part of your body, including your head? I'm pretty sure that in sprinting it's the head because runners always fling their heads forward at the end.

@@CharmsDad Ok, thanks.

Exactly! The presenter in the video gets it completely wrong when he says the olympic triathlon is "designed" to smash the field. WRONG! Never heard of packs in cycling huh? Most of the time they always start the run together in one big bunch.

Sound Speed! The cycling doesn't tend to smash the field, but the swim and run sure do. If you have a weak swim, its over. Otherwise all 50 or so racers would be starting running at once

Yeah but most people get out of the swim kinda close ish together, and if you're too far ahead there is no point riding out hard by yourself on the bike leg! So they hang back and join the pack for the draft legal bike racing. So it all comes down to the run! Should return back to the original ways when drafting was banned

No drafting allowed. One can get disqualified for doing so. Many do.

Indeed

but is wasn't

if me aunty had bollox she'd be me uncle

Tarek S. May i recommend watching the 100m freestyle women in rio 2016 summer olympic. There's 2 gold medal on that event.

bobsled two man 2018 Canada and Germany won gold

Except in most other timed sports

Ask Toretto

Said who?

alec I’m dead😂😂

Torso

This isn’t kindergarten where they give everyone the same award so no one gets their feelings hurt.

@@CharmsDad Is it not? You could have fooled me.

@@martin6123 You obviously are a fool.

Your time will be better spent elsewhere. As will mine.

hitting the banner isn't what decides crossing the line. It's foot over the line.

no it's actually the chest, genius.

ngt the banner wasn’t as chest level that’s the problem.

@@EjvindGEMDark dumbass xD

@@chanbros6110 The banner doesn’t have anything to do with determining the winner.

Why? One athlete was in front of the other. It doesn’t matter that the margin was small.

The winner is determined by the finish line photo generated by the electronic timing system. The first one to reach the finish line gets the hold, no matter how large of small the margin of victory may be.

???

in my opinion, speed isn't the only thing that counts- technique is also a part of the game. taking the inside of corners, drafting, etc. so i think the first over the finish should win

@@magnolialang5217 I fully agree with that, with fastest I mean the one who completes the course in the least time, but getting a better start position, closer to the starters pistol, is not something an athlete can influence.

No. One person won. This isn’t kindergarten.

Oh I think they meant if this percentage was translated to a 100m sprint, the difference would have been about a hair’s breadth! For the actual difference in this triathlon, it was about 2cm.

it was just a comparison. winning by 2 cm is legit, in my opinion.

you can clearly see it in normal speed...

Steffani Soto - No, she got silver.

The tech we have can detect winning by a length of a micrometer, we have sufficient technology.

(

except she didn't because that's not how it works.

At what? The camera component of the electronic finish line system is precisely aligned with the finish line and gives a much more accurate image of the finish. The determination of the winner in these close races is not subjective and isn’t controversial.
