Thetriathlon competitions at the2024 Summer Olympics inParis ran from 31 July to 5 August atPont Alexandre III, featuring a total of 110 athletes who were to compete in each of themen's andwomen's events.[1][2] After a successful debut at the2020 Summer Olympics, the mixed relay competition will remain in the triathlon program for the second time.[1]
TheOlympic triathlon comprises three components: swimming 1.5 km (0.93 mi), cycling 40 km (25 mi), and running 10 km (6.2 mi).[3] The competitions take the form of a single event between all competitors with no heats.
The mixed team event features teams of four (two men and two women). Each athlete swims 300 m (330 yd), cycles 8 km (5.0 mi), and runs 2 km (1.2 mi) in a relay format.[1]
The qualification period commenced on 27 May 2022 and concluded on the same day in 2024. 110 athletes (55 for each gender) vied for the coveted spots with a maximum of three per gender for each NOC.[4] As the host country, France automatically receives four quota places (two per gender) while the highest-ranked eligible NOC will each obtain two men's and two women's spots at the 2022 and 2023 Mixed Relay World Championships.[3]
Six highest-ranked eligible NOCs will be awarded two quota places per gender based on the World Triathlon Mixed Relay Olympic Qualification Rankings of 25 March 2024, with two more from the Mixed Relay Olympic Qualification Event held between 15 April and 27 May 2024. The qualification period concludes with the top 26 individuals per gender securing a coveted place, subject to the limit of three per NOC and ignoring the first two from each NOC that qualified through the mixed relays. One additional spot for each continent will be allocated to the highest-ranked male and female triathlete from the NOC not yet qualified for the Games. The final two spots per gender are awarded to the triathletes under the Tripartite Commission and to those eligible in the top 180 of the World Triathlon individual rankings.[3][5]
