Video: chaos at start of triathlon by TV boat | Sport

sport">The starter gave the starting shot for the game, which traditionally started with the swim. At that time, however, there was still a TV boat with an external motor in the water just in front of the platform on which the participants stood. A large part of them could not jump into the water because of this.

sport">Immediately after the starting gun, the motorboat tried to get away quickly. As a result, the captain steered towards some participants who had just started, but none of them were injured in this maneuver. The jury then had to intervene quickly to stop the triathletes who had already left. A few minutes later the restart took place.

sport">The event was eventually won by Kristian Blummenfelt from Norway. Briton Alex Yee grabbed the silver, while New Zealand can add a bronze medal via Hayden Wilde.
