Emma Snowsill and Olympic Triathlon Tickets


Emma Laura Snowsill was born on 15 June 1981. Snowsill is an Australian professional triathlete and multiple gold medalists in the World Championships and the Commonwealth Games. She won the gold medal in Olympic Triathlon at the 2008 Olympics.
Snowsill won the 2000 International Olympic Triathlon Union (ITU) World Championship in the 16–20 years age category plus the gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Youth Olympic Festival Olympic Triathlon at age 19. She was awarded a scholarship with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and was voted 16–19 years female Triathlete of the Year 2000. She is studying for a degree in health science she is the current Australian Olympic distance champion; she won the gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
She won another gold medal at the 2006 World ITU Championships in Lausanne, where she finished 45 seconds in front of Portuguese triathlete z. This made her the first female triathlete to win three world titles. The following year in Hamburg, Fernandez gained revenge for the defeat by winning her first world title, beating Snowsill by over a minute.  In 2008, she kicked off to a great start, winning the Mooloolaba World Cup season opener, beating her Olympic rival Vanessa Fernandez. Over the year there has been much speculation as to which one of the two athletes would win in Beijing. Snowsill skipped the World Champs out in order to devote all of energy to the Beijing Olympics. She stayed with the leader’s ion the swim and cycle legs and broke clear in the run. Snowsill won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 1:58:27, 1 minute 7 seconds ahead of Fernandez. Fellow Australian Emma Moffat won the bronze medal.

Triathlon Running and Olympic Triathlon Tickets


Participants in triathlon often use the sport to improve or maintain their physical fitness. With each sport being an endurance event, training for a triathlon provides cardiovascular exercise benefits. Additionally, triathletes encounter fewer injuries than those who only use running as part of their exercise routine due to the incorporation of low impact swim and bike training.
Athletes who participate in endurance events spend many hours training for those events and this is true for triathlon as well. Injuries that are incurred from long hours of a single activity are not as common in triathlon as they are in single sport events. The cross training effect that athletes achieve from training for one sport by doing a second activity applies to triathlon training. Additional activities that triathletes perform for cross training benefits are yoga, Pilates, and weight training.
The primary distinguishing feature of running in a triathlon is that it occurs after the athlete has already been exercising in two other disciplines for an extended period of time, so many muscles are already tired. The effect of switching from cycling to running can be profound; first-time triathletes are often astonished at their muscle weakness, maybe caused by lactate accumulation and the bizarre, sometimes painful sensation in their thighs a few hundred yards into the run, and discover that they run at a much slower pace than they are accustomed to in training. Triathletes train for this phenomenon through transition workouts known as "bricks": back-to-back workouts involving two disciplines, most commonly cycling and running.

Triathlon Swimming and Triathlon Tickets


Triathletes will often use their legs less vigorously and more carefully than other swimmers, conserving their leg muscles for the cycle and run to follow. Many triathletes use altered swim strokes to compensate for turbulent, aerated water and to conserve energy for a long swim. In addition, the majority of triathlons involve open water swim stages, rather than pools with lane markers. 
As a result, triathletes in the swim stage must jockey for position, and can gain some advantage by drafting, following a competitor closely to swim in their slipstream. Triathletes will often use "dolphin kicking" and diving to make headway against waves and body surfing to use a wave's energy for a bit of speed at the end of the swim stage. Also, open water swims necessitate "sighting": raising the head to look for landmarks or buoys that mark the course. A modified stroke allows the triathlete to lift the head above water to sight without interrupting the swim or wasting energy.
Because open water swim areas are often cold and because wearing a wetsuit provides a competitive advantage, specialized triathlon wetsuits have been developed in a variety of styles to match the conditions of the water. For example, wetsuits that are sleeveless and cut above the knee are designed for warmer waters, while still providing buoyancy. Wetsuits are legal in sanctioned events at which the surface water temperature is 26 °C or less. In non sanctioned events or in "age group" classes where most racers are simply participating for the enjoyment of the sport instead of vying for official USA Triathlon placing, wetsuits can often be used at other temperatures. Race directors will sometimes discourage or ban wetsuits if the water temperature is above 84 degrees due to overheating that can occur while wearing a wetsuit. Other rules have been implemented by race organizers regarding both wetsuit thickness as well as the use of "swim skins;" which need to be considered by those participating in future triathlons.

Triathlon cycling and Triathlon Tickets


Triathlon cycling can differ from most professional bicycle racing depending on whether drafting is allowed during competition. In some competitions, like those governed by USA Triathlon and the World Triathlon Corporation, drafting is not allowed, the cycling portion more closely resembles individual time trial racing. In other races, such as those in World Cup and Championship racing, drafting and the formation of pelotons are legal. This places an emphasis on running performance as several athletes will enter the bike to run transition at the same time due to drafting. 
Triathlon bicycles are generally optimized for aerodynamics, having special handlebars called aero-bars or tri-bars, aerodynamic wheels, and other components. Triathlon bikes use a specialized geometry, including a steep seat tube angle both to improve aerodynamics and to spare muscle groups needed for running. At the end of the bike segment, triathletes also often cycle with a higher cadence, which serves in part to keep the muscles loose and flexible for running. It is believed, though, that the primary benefit to cycling in a triathlon is that the strain of the effort is placed disproportionately on the slow-twitch muscle fibers, preventing the athlete from accumulating an oxygen debt before the run.

Olympic Triathlon


Triathlon is a multi sport event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest overall course completion time, including timed "transitions" between the individual swim, bike, and run components
                 Triathlon is considered by some to have its beginnings in 1920s France. According to triathlon historian and author Scott Tinley, the origin of triathlon is attributed to a race during the 1920s–1930s that was called variously "Les trios sports", "La Course des Debrouillards", and "La course des Touche a Tout". This race is held every year in France near Joinville le Pont, in Meulan and Poissy.

             An earlier tri-sport event in 1902 featured running, cycling, and canoeing. There are documented tri-sport events featuring running, swimming, & cycling in 1920, 1921, 1945, and the 1960s.In 1920, the French newspaper L Auto reported on a competition called "Les Trois Sports" with a 3 km run, 12 km bike, and a swim across the channel Marne. Those three parts were done without any break. Another event was held in 1921 in Marseilles with the order of events bike-run-swim. Among the participants was American athlete Charles Sector. There are also articles in French newspapers about a race in Marseille in 1927.
          
Triathlon made its debut on the Olympic program at the Sydney Games in 2000 over the Olympic Distance 1,500 m swimming, 40 km bicycle and 10 km running.
