Triathlon - Through The Eyes Of The Elite
(65 minutes)
In 1974, two members of the San Diego Track Club conceived
of an idea meant to be little more than a fun, yet challenging
break from the tedium of traditional training. They called
it a Triathlon. Today, Triathlon has evolved from its rudimentary
beginnings in Mission Bay into an endurance event of immense
international appeal. Deeply embedded in the public consciousness,
Triathlon is now poised to debut as the inaugural event
of the 2000 Summer Olympic games in Sydney, Australia. What
is it about the sport and its competitors that intrigue
so many people worldwide?
Triathlon: Through the Eyes of the Elite tells the dramatic
and compelling stories that revolve around the young sport
of Triathlon. From an in-depth and truly unique perspective,
we share both the historical documentation and evolution
of the sport as well as the lifestyle, perseverance and
passion of the professional triathlete. Our film is essentially
a "behind the scenes" look at the sport of Triathlon
with the Olympics serving as the dramatic backdrop.
