Triathletes must follow some pretty strict rules in order to compete. Not only does a competitor have to stay strong and in shape, they must also know and follow all of the rules, written and unwritten. Most of these rules are in place to ensure the safety of the participants in triathlons. Some of these rules are just common sense and decent behavior. And some of these rules are exclusive to the pros who know everything it takes to win a race.
There are a couple of controversial rules that are causing a stir in the triathlon and Olympic athlete world. One such rule states that female competitors cannot have too much natural testosterone in their bodies. If they are over a certain limit, they are expected to lower their levels with medication or even surgery. Two female British triathletes, Jessica Learmonth and Georgia Taylor-Brown, were disqualified for crossing the finish line while holding hands at the 2019 World Triathlon Olympic Qualification Event. It caused quite a controversy among fans who did not think they should have been disqualified. There are other less controversial rules, such as no dunking, proper helmet use, no obstructing, no littering, and no drafting. These rules are in place to ensure fairness and safety for the competitors. Like them or not, all triathletes are subject to these rules when competing in the sport. Here are the strict rules female professional triathletes have to follow.

Margaret Wambui isn't a triathlete by the way. She is a Track and Field athlete that specialized in the 800m, she probably hasn't done a triathlon in her whole life.
misleading right?
Not even sure it’s a she
@@itsdatez9661 I don’t think so
“Strict” rules: don’t shove someone into the water during the swim, don’t get in someone ones way or purposefully block them
Oh my god! So strict, I actually can’t believe it!!
They finish the race together, looking forward to representing there country at the olympics. Hold hands for 2 secs and are DQ'ed?? Must have been officials that never have done triathlons or any sports for that matter at a high level. Seriously looking for a reason to DQ them? Im pretty sure if I was to scour the footage I would find a lot of violations they missed. Dumb.
This is what the talko used to post, the better things
There was only one gender specific rule..?
These rules apply to both male and female triathletes. While you have some rules correct many are stereotyped without proper explanation. I don’t mean to be harsh in any way at all but triathlon is a very particular sport with particular sets of rules to follow. Otherwise am very glad to see the sport being featured!!
That drafting rule does not apply to Pro Triathletes. It was done away with many years ago as it was too difficult to police in high numbers racing of tight courses. Still applies to non Pro races though.
They probably didn’t even know there was a rule about handholding so why should they be disqualified for it ???
While I love that triathlon has featured there is Unfortunately a lot of incorrect information in this video. Additionally, if the title says it’s about females, why are you referring to athletes as “he” or “him” throughout parts of this?
If you want correct info for your next video about triathlon, please reach out to us.
Well most of these rules apply to men and women.
witsup also a lot of these don’t even relate to just females.
@@bloodmoonmonsters990 exactly
lubrication is no rule... and all of those rules are for women *and* men ....those idiots clickbaited....
literally the whole swim thing isn’t strict... it’s for safety reasons... for example on mine and every other swim team, you wouldn’t dunk someone or try to block them... because it’s a safety HAZARD... coach sees when someone’s about to get kicked...
This video is full of misinformation. Research should have been done... I feel bad for the channel.
CEO of peenalized
Coming from a triathlete we early use lube the only thing we use from is baking spray on the outside of wetsuits and we use body glide to prevent chafing
Absolutely not! Nobody should be disqualified because they held hands at the finish line 🏁 !! Also by no means should any person be unable to participate because of the way their body is “naturally forming a lot of testosterone “ and how dare they even suggest the ridiculous things they have offered as “solutions” for these specific athletes! I am outraged by this the most!!!🤬😡🤯 Great 👍🏽 topic.
Yeah, Im sure you'd feel that way if you were a competitor and kept losing to someone with unusually high amounts of Testosterone in their body. Just imagine training every day of your life and knowing you are in the same era as someone who has that edge over you and competes in all the high end competitions youre in. Also why would a serious professional hold hands with someone coming into the finish, its a competition not a chick flick. Any serious competitor would be thinking of their own career and their placing, this was always going to end badly for them doing something stupid like that.
@@rasher331 therefore using your argument, was it wrong that Usain Bolt was allowed to run because he had naturally long legs. Of Michael Phelps was allowed to swim because he has naturally flipper like feet.
I could name others but you get the idea.
A natural advantage is what separates the great.
And if you now consider that they are thinking of letting trans athletes compete with even higher levels of testosterone, why can't a natural female be allowed.
Sorry but being female with high levels of testosterone is just luck and not a reason to ask them to take drugs that could destroy their health.
@@tkralva.6668 If that's your argument then why don't you petition for men and women to race against each other and for no Special Olympics since there should be no prejudice against anyones ability or the way they were born. What a ridiculous comment.
It is correct that they disqualified but I agree with the other points.
Can you do about swimmers like normal because I wanna know about them but from your Chanel cause I love it ❤️❤️
I love your vids
Rules: no unsportsmanlike behavior
Also rules: can’t hold hands when you’re happy
Love your vids❤️
Hiiiiii! Lol love the vid! GOOD JOB!!!
Awesome thank you!!
@@TheThingsCelebrity omg hi ur vids have great info
TheTalko NP!
For Elite, U23, Junior and Youth draft-legal competitions, we are allowed to draft. There are some age group competitions allowing drafting as well. There are some regulations to clip-ons depending on the competition too.
ITU Competition Rules:

Love you guys
Ok I'm one for " friendly competition " but the getting disqualified for their hand holding was a bit much. Just saying.
The bit about them holding there hand seas them being nice as they are both from the same countries
The drafting rule is invalid. They should have done their research ... in youth and junior elite, and pro races drafting is 100% allowed. Your coach even makes sure you do draft! It’s one of the most important things you can do on the bike! In most age group races you can not, but all High performance and pro you can!
Haha 😂 my mouth started bleeding cuz the triathlon was so aggressive that girl who did it won and also cheated by starting earlier
Hhm. Why is the title of this video say females when its the same for the men, there is also a lot of uncorrect information in this video like that Margaret Wambui is avtriathlete, shes not!! Shes an 800m runner. This could have been an good video, but unfortunatly its not due to all the incorrect information and bad titeling😡
Incorrect*
Arjun Bhardwaj haha, i know. Missed the i and hit the u instead
Some rules I understand some I don't.
For IronMan age groupers the drafting rule is 10mtrs or 20 seconds.
In olympic triathlon drafting is allowed
When you are early the comment has not
Is there a video about kids from 9 to 11 that swim 3 times a week four hours a week because I'm 9 and that is my life don't get me wrong I love it but it is so tiring.
I have to take notes because I’m a swimmer
How are these just related to women?
yes
The no drafting and no shouting of times rules are stupid.
The two racers at the beginning should have been given a warning and let go.
Otherwise, all the other rules makes sense.
4 parts if you count transition
Honestly I wouldn’t be a great biker and I’m pretty good at swimming and running I am great at I run around the block like 20
Agree with most, except natural testosterone, especially when Trans athletes are allowed high levels of testosterone.
And yes tge rules say Compete so deliberately trying to draw a race is a reason to disqualify.
What is penazisede
I know nothing about triathlon rules. And every body is saying this video is full of misinformation. So kindly any triathlon followers mention those mistakes
most of these seem reasonable, except for the holding hands rule
I’m actually a triathlete in training and this helped me a lot to know the rules lol 😂 thanks @thetalko
This is unfair
Isn't helping other athletes called good sport.
i believe that music really help and why people that do
triathlons don't blast music with ear buds in their ears that is STUPID and they need OUTSIDE HELP FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS and their moms HAVE TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO DRINK LIKE GATERADE
Triathletes can’t have music via earbuds cuz it’s for safety reasons. You need to be aware of your surroundings especially during cycling. You cannot block anyone cuz it can cause accident and this is dangerous. This is not cycling with friends to the park this is real deal..
Hät all rules But Mate tri is lit
i just don't get it why triathletes are not allowed to listen to music and drink gatorade and shout out race times
Ha “PEEnalized”
Why is it just female athletes
These arent female specific.
Hay
No
pee - na - lized
I saw a lot of people commenting on how important it is to have the triathlete listens to the song via earbuds. Triathletes can’t have music via earbuds cuz it’s for safety reasons. You need to be aware of your surroundings especially during cycling. You cannot block anyone cuz it can cause accident and this is dangerous. This is not cycling with friends to the park this is real deal.. and most of the information in this video is incorrect. The Talko you should do more research about triathlon before making up this video. This is so misinformation. You should too elaborate in details why certain rules written in the guide book for triathletes cuz most of the rules are being made are for safety reasons. Triathlon is an endurance sports and nothing like running on tracks or sprinting swimming.. check before making one video for this. You are giving misinformation especially to those who don’t know about Triathlon.
NO, they should not have been disqualified.
No they shouldn't have been disqualified
Hey:)
OMG YOU HEARTED MY COMMENT
Penalize not pEnilize
Okokokokokokokolo
Ahahaha
But if you are a trans woman its fine
fog Hill somehow there should be a separate category for them
What a terrible video. Full of misleading and incorrect information. Someone phoned it in 🤷♂️
Wow how can men do what they want this is so unfair I bet they r being sexiest 😒😡😡😡
No
