For the first time in history, a women's triathlon was held at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney . The competition took place on September 17, 2000. It was also the first ever triathlon to be held at the Olympic Games.
The start, finish and transition area were in front of the Sydney Opera House , where a large temporary grandstand had been set up. After swimming 1.5 kilometers in Port Jackson , they switched to bicycles. The athletes had to use it to ride six laps on a circuit through the Sydney Central Business District and the Royal Botanic Gardens . Finally, the athletes had to run a 10 km run, which also led through the Sydney Central Business District and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Course of the competition
A total of 48 athletes from 24 nations competed at the Olympic premiere. Eight athletes had to end the competition early. In downtown Sydney and on the harbor, 100,000 spectators followed the competition along the route. The Australian Michellie Jones was the favorite for the Olympic victory . After the swim, Jones was only in eighth place, while the American Sheila Taormina was the first to switch to the bike with a lead of around 40 seconds . After six bike laps, the reigning German champion Joelle Franzmann took the lead. Franzmann, who had not been able to run a few weeks earlier due to an injury to her calf, was overtaken by some athletes on the laps and ended up only in 21st place. On the home straight there was a duel between the Swiss Brigitte McMahon and Michellie Jones, which the Swiss won and thus became the first Olympic triathlon champion.
