The Three in One Competition

The+Three+in+One+Competition

A triathlon is a combination of swimming, cycling and running. It is a race that tests the physical strength and will of athletes.

In a triathlon race, the athletes perform the swimming segment, the swim-to-bike change, the bike segment, the bike-to-run change, and the run segment in sequence, until reaching the finish line and completing the race.

The score of each athlete who completes the race includes the total time of their swimming race time, cycling race time and running race time.

WJPS junior, Vincent Capezza stated, “Triathlon is a sport that requires the athlete’s great endurance to complete. Athletes must practice all three sports to be the best.”

WJPS junior, Johan Lee said, “I think triathlon is a particularly difficult sport to improve performance, because athletes need to be proficient in three sports, but triathlon can allow athletes to get a good body.”
