SnoGirl August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 I'm super excited for this event. I hope they cover parts of it on tv. I'm really rooting for Gwen after the diaster of the blown tire in the London Games. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46261-triathlon-to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils/#findComment-2500315
galaxygirl76 August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 I don't know why but I'm really happy this is an Olympic event. Probably my favorite of the ones added in recent history. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46261-triathlon-to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils/#findComment-2500487
Ohwell August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 Maybe it's a comfort thing, but I'm really tired of seeing outfits with half the butt sticking out like Jorgenson and others are wearing (and this goes for other sports as well). I think the outfits with the longer shorts that some of the women are wearing look much better. Anyway, congrats to her. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46261-triathlon-to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils/#findComment-2500531
selkie August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 Probably a heat thing- minimize the amount of wet lycra/spandex that is trapping water next to the body where it unable to evaporate and cool you properly.

That's probably it, but not a pleasant thing to see. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46261-triathlon-to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils/#findComment-2500554
SnoGirl August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 I am so excited for Gwen! I don't think there's a dry eye in Wisconsin after that finish. And her interview afterwards just brought those tears back. Congrats Gwen!!!! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46261-triathlon-to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils/#findComment-2500607
Valentine August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 I loved the men's triathlon. The Brownlees are amazing. I cracked up when Alistair dropped the f bomb and Al said, "Well, that's one way to put it." He was so deadpan. Al drives me nuts with his gymnastic commentary, but I didn't think he was so bad at the men's triathlon. I haven't watched the women yet.

sereion August 20, 2016 Share August 20, 2016 Yay, Gwen!!! First US gold in the Triathalon! This is HUGE for USAT! Way to go! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46261-triathlon-to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils/#findComment-2501041
SophiaD August 21, 2016 Share August 21, 2016 Al really shines with triathlon. You can tell he both understands and really loves it. When I still had Universal Sports, I used to watch Ironman reruns, just because I enjoyed the balance between the race and the backstories so much. Congratulations, Gwen!

Gulftastic September 4, 2016 Share September 4, 2016 Leeds' own Brownlee brothers did it again. I bet their Mum has asked Alistair to let Johhny win one. I love that the first flag that Alistair grabbed as he crossed the line was a Yorkshire flag.
