Can triathlon be more like Track & Field in the Olympics


Sure it would be great to see. Perhaps even include Duathlon. However, the sport of triathlon is still relativly new to the Olympic games and had to do a lot of arm twisting just to get in, so they are not likley to want to rock the boat. Also the IOC seems to be at one time, wanting to expand the games by adding new sports while at the same time scaling the overall size of the games back by asking some sports organizations to eliminate some events within that sport. So I don’t know how well going to the IOC at this point and asking to add more events for triatholon would be a good thing. I don’t see the addition of anything new on the multi-sport front over the short to mid term.
