The venue for the triathlon is Hyde Park (pictured). With a picturesque view, there's a lake in the middle, suitable enough for the triathlon, along with trails used for biking and running. After all, it's the triathlon.
110 competitors (55 male and 55 female) from 39 countries will participate in this triathlon.
Jan Frocho is the defending Olympic champion in the men, from Beijing 2008, while the defending women's Olympic champion from Beijing is Emma Snowsill.
This has been on the menu in the summer Olympics since Sydney 2000. Three different winners in both the men and women. There are no repeat winners, who knows?
Up next: a look at handball.
