The PepsiMAX Windsor Triathlon will have more than its tenth anniversary to celebrate this year as it has been selected as one of the selection races from which the British Olympic Triathlon Team will be picked. Confirmation has been received from Kevin Hickey, Technical Director of the British Olympic Association, that the three selection races will comprise Windsor on June 18th, Monaco, an ITU World Cup event on July 2nd and finally Stein, the European Championship on July 9th.

Triathlon will be making its Olympic debut in Sydney this September and the women's event will be the first medal decided. With Simon Lessing, Sian Brice, Andrew Johns and Michelle Dillon all competing for places on the Olympic squad, there's a good chance that Great Britain will be on the podium at the first medal ceremony!

John Lunt, Event Director for the PepsiMAX Royal Windsor Triathlon and Managing Director for event organisers Human Race is delighted with the outcome. "We're honoured to be given the opportunity to welcome our Olympians to the event. Great Britain has some of the finest triathletes in the world and what better place to display their talent than against the stunning backdrop of Windsor Castle and Eton College."
