Support campaign to make #RelevosMixtos #trimixedrelay an Olympic sport in #Tokyo2020
The international triathlon federation (ITU) has launched a support campaign for mixed relays to be included in the Olympic program at the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020.
The one in charge of launching this message was the current Olympic champion Gwen Jorgensen and many more triathletes have launched to support this cause.
The official hastags are #RelevosMixtos #trimixedrelay #Tokyo2020
This is the message of Gwen Jorgensen:
I support getting #TriMixedRelays into the @Olympics
