The Australian mixed relay triathlon team of Luke Willian, Natalie Van Coevorden, Matt Hauser and Sophie Linn raced their hearts out in Paris on Monday but were unable to challenge for the medals, finishing 12th in 1:28.50.
Australia’s Olympic triathlon team are healthy and poised to push their rivals in Paris, aiming to bring home the country’s first medal in the Mixed Relay event.
Matt Hauser has raced brilliantly in Paris to finish seventh, despite an unlucky fall in transition, on the challenging and picturesque triathlon course. His result is the best by an Australian male at the Olympics in 20 years.
Sophie Linn and Natalie Van Coevorden have successfully navigated a technical course and pushed through the adverse weather conditions to record strong performances in the women’s triathlon at Paris 2024.
With the men’s triathlon postponed, until after the women’s race, Natalie Van Coevorden and Sophie Linn are scheduled to be the first Australian triathletes in action at the Paris Olympics.
When Matt Hauser and Luke Willian step onto the Champs-Élysées, they’ll have their sights set on ending Australia’s Olympic triathlon medal drought.
The decision has been made to postpone the men’s triathlon event which was due to be held on 30 July at 4pm AEST.
