The Mixed relay triathlon at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place at the Pont Alexandre III in Paris on 5 August 2024.[1] The mixed team event features teams of four (two men and two women). Each athlete swims 300m (1,000feet), cycles 8km (05miles), and runs 2km (01miles) in a relay format.[2] [3]
The Tokyo 2020 medallists - Morgan Pearson and Taylor Knibb of the United States, Alex Yee and Georgia Taylor-Brown of the Great Britain, and Cassandre Beaugrand of France, took part in the event. Prior to this, several changes were occurred. In the United States' team, Pearson and Knibb retained while Kevin McDowell and Katie Zaferes were replaced with Seth Rider and Taylor Spivey. In the Great Britain's team, Yee and Taylor-Brown retained while Jonny Brownlee, now retired, and Jess Learmonth replaced with Sam Dickinson and Beth Potter. For the host country's team, Vincent Luis, Dorian Coninx and Léonie Périault are all replaced with Pierre Le Corre, Léo Bergère and Emma Lombardi while Beaugrand is the only athlete who retained from the previous Olympics. Laura Lindemann anchored Germany to the gold, finishing just ahead of the United States' Knibb and Great Britain's Potter. All three athletes finished within one second of each other.[4] Great Britain were originally announced as having secured the silver but after a review of the photo finish, it was confirmed just before the medal ceremony that Knibb had slightly edged out Potter for second place.[5] The race was originally supposed to be contested by 16 teams but Belgium was forced to drop out after one member of the team, Claire Michel, fell ill.[6] The Swiss team also had to shuffle its lineup as a result of illness. Simon Westermann was originally supposed to replace Adrien Briffod after he came down with a stomach infection.[7] However, after falling ill from a stomach bug himself, Westermann was replaced by Sylvain Fridelance.[8]
