Triathlon
This is a relatively new sport for the Commonwealth Games but its inclusion reflects its increasing popularity. The swimming, cycling and running event uses almost all of the muscles in the human body and competitors are among the fittest in any sport. The Glasgow 2014 Triathlon will be held in Strathclyde Country Park, just outside Glasgow, which is an excellent venue for the open-air swimming with the parkland a glorious backdrop for the cycling and running.
