TRIATHLON AT THE AUSTRALIAN DEAF GAMES

Triathlon will make its debut as an exhibition event from January 20-27 when the 17th Australian Deaf Games are held in in Albury-Wodonga. Attracting more than 400 participants from 18 sports, the Games are a key platform for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community to compete at the highest level in Australia and to strive for selection on the Australian Deaflympic Team.

Triathlon Australia has a proud history of promoting equal opportunities and inclusion, and was one of the first sports to ensure that professional female triathletes received equal pay. The sport also made its debut at the 2016 Rio Paralympics with Paratriathlon.

The NSW Government is a key supporter of the Games via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
