「五輪競技継続決定!Triathlon on 2012 Olympic Programme」




Singapore IOC 117th Session: For Immediate Release:
The IOC today confirmed that Triathlon will continue to be a full
programme sport at the Olympic Games through the 2012 London
Olympic Games.

The IOC also confirmed their position that there would only be 28
sports on the summer programme, with a total of 10,500 athletes
competing in 301 events.

ASOIF, the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations,
asked unanimously that the scores of the votes not be released as
they did not want the sports ranked, to prevent any adverse affect
on a sport's marketing and media prospects. The IOC Executive
Board agreed with this request.

Triathlon, which first made it's appearance on the 2000 Sydney
Olympic Games celebrates it's continued inclusion within the
Olympic Family
