A renewed Olympic calendar
This advance of the triathlon tests is part of a broader reorganization of the Olympic calendar.
Unlike other editions, the Athletics will occupy the first week of competition (del 15 al 24 de julio), leaving space for the swimming in the second week (the 22 to 30).
Only the marathons will be played in the last few days, as usual.
This change seeks to give greater visibility to disciplines that were previously relegated to the last days, and that now, like the triathlon, will be able to enjoy a privileged showcase from the start of the Games.
A golden opportunity for triathlon
