Page "Triathlon" Paragraph 5

Triathlon is considered by some to have its beginnings in 1920s France.

According to triathlon historian and author Scott Tinley ( and others ), the origin of triathlon is attributed to a race during the 1920s – 1930s that was called variously " Les trois sports ", " La Course des Débrouillards ", and " La course des Touche à Tout ".

This race is held every year in France near Joinville-le-Pont, in Meulan and Poissy.
