The official distance for an Olympic triathlon is made up of three parts: a 1.5 km swim, a 40 km bike ride, and a 10 km run. This format is what you’ll see in the Summer Olympics and various international competitions. Athletes also have to make quick transitions between each segment, which really puts their endurance, speed, and versatility to the test.
