Germany triumphed in the mixed triathlon relay at the Paris 2024 Olympics, finishing with a time of 1:25:39 to claim the gold medal. The race was fiercely competitive, with the USA and the UK finishing just one second later at 1:25:40. A photo finish was needed to determine the final standings, with the USA being awarded the silver medal and the UK taking bronze.
The race was held under less-than-ideal conditions due to heavy rainfall affecting the Seine River, leading to the cancellation of swim practice for two days. However, the water quality improved in time for the event to proceed as scheduled.
The Belgian team had to withdraw from the relay after their athlete, Michelle, fell ill following the women’s triathlon event, adding to the challenges faced by the competitors.
