WINNIPEG Manitoba s Tyler Mislawchuk has withdrawn from the Tokyo 2020 triathlon mixed team relay event due to an injury. Team Canada confirmed Mislawchuk has withdrawn, citing an Achilles injury during his individual race earlier in the week. The 26-year-old athlete from Oak Bluff, Man., competed on Sunday, finishing the event in 15th place, with a total time of 1:46:28. Since the completion of the individual race, we have been working with our medical team to mitigate the irritation in his Achilles tendon, but unfortunately there is still some risk of further damage to the Achilles should he start, Eugene Liang, Triathlon Canada’s high performance director, said in a news release.
