Olympic triathlon start lists finalised
The International Triathlon Union (ITU) has announced the official triathlon start lists for the London 2012 Olympic Games. The 39 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) were randomly drawn, and then start numbers were assigned to their respective athletes in alphabetical order. Start numbers indicate position in the transition area but do not relate to athletes' position on the start pontoon. Starting positions on the swim pontoon will take place at athlete briefings, two days prior to each competition day.
