TOKYO Canada s strategy of having Matthew Sharpe serve as Tyler Mislawchuk s domestique in the first two segments of the men s triathlon worked flawlessly at the Tokyo Olympics.
But there s no planning for a cramp.
Mislawchuk finished 15th in one hour 46 minutes 28 seconds at the event along scenic Tokyo Bay on Monday morning, repeating his final position from the Rio Games. Sharpe was 49th in 1:57.32.

After more than a decade of meticulous planning with his team, it was Norway’s Kristian Blummenfelt who was crowned the men’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic Triathlon Champion on Monday morning on Odaiba Bay, delivering one of the most gutsy runs possible to take the tape with a roar, at the end of a truly epic battle of wills.
For much of the run, Great Britain’s Alex Yee looked like he might just continue his remarkable rise all the way to the top of the triathlon tree, only for the inimitable Norwegian to put in one final and ultimately decisive charge, New Zealand’s 23-year-old Hayden Wilde hanging tough for a hard-earned bronze.
WINNIPEG While there are no fans in the stands for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this year, Triathlon Manitoba made sure there was still plenty of supporters cheering on local athlete Tyler Mislawchuk – albeit nearly 9,000 kilometres away. A crowd of more than 100 fans gathered at Birds Hill Provincial Park on Sunday evening to cheer on the 26-year-old athlete from Oak Bluff, Man., as he competed in this year s triathlon. Mislawchuk finished the event in 15th place, with a total time of 1:46:28. Mislawchuk first competed in the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, also representing Canada at the 2015 Pan American Games and the Commonwealth Games in 2018.
