Two spectacular Olympic Games triathlon races down at Paris 2024 but still one to go and now we have the FINAL start list for Monday’s Mixed Relay showdown in the French capital.

Fifteen nations will send out teams to compete for gold at 0800 local time on August 5 – and we now know the race will go ahead as planned after organisers gave the green light on Sunday evening.

Three years in Tokyo Mixed Relay triathlon made its debut at the Olympic Games and it did so with a bang as Great Britain (Jess Learmonth, Jonny Brownlee, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee) claimed a famous gold.

The Brits will again be a forced to be reckoned with on Monday with newly-crowned men’s champion Yee and bronze medal winner Potter in their team. But they will be up against it when they lock horns with the mighty home team from France, anchored by the new women’s champion Cassandre Beaugrand.

Throw in stellar lineups from the likes of Germany and the United States and potential surprise packages in Portugal and Switzerland, it’s a terrific field. Without further ado, let’s get into the full details.

*NB: Countries were able to amend their lineups until 0545 local time on Monday August 5, the day of the race. That has now passed and the above is as per World Triathlon and Paris 2024 start lists. However World Triathlon did post on social media at 0642 local time that Hayden Wilde is leg C for New Zealand, with Dylan McCullough going first for them.

Start time and how to watch live on TV

The race, as stated, is scheduled to get under way at 0800 local time on Monday August 5, 2024. That is 0700 UK time, 0200 on the East Coast of the United States and 2300 PST Sunday August 4 on the West Coast. If you’re watching in Australia, the action gets under way at 1700 Sydney time.

Had the water quality not been up to the required on standard, the race would have been delayed one day to Tuesday August 6 (again at 0800 local time). If the water quality were to have been sub-standard then, the Mixed Relay would have been downgraded to a duathlon.

The action in the French capital will be available to watch via media rights holders, which vary from country-to-country. In the United Kingdom, the racing will be available on BBC Sport, with Discovery Eurosport providing coverage across Europe.

Additionally, in France the racing will be live on France Télévisions, with German viewers able to watch the race on ARD/ZDF. In North America, CBC will be providing coverage in Canada and NBC will broadcast the race in the United States.

Elsewhere, the race will be available on Nine in Australia, Globo in Brazil, Fuji TV/NHK/Nippon TV/TBS/TV Asahi/TV Tokyo in Japan, SKY NZ in New Zealand and SuperSport in South Africa.

How does Mixed Relay triathlon work?

Four athletes in each team, two men and two women – with each completing a swim, a bike and a run. The only change from the mixed relay’s Olympic debut in Paris is the order in which they race. In Tokyo it was woman/man/woman/man. Now the order has been changed to man/woman/man/woman.
