Emma Snowsill, Brad Kahlefeldt and Courtney Atkinson landed early nomination status today from Triathlon Australia for the Beijing Olympics. Their final selection for the Games will be subject to form, fitness and health.
On the same course for the upcoming Olympic Games Triathlon, last month Snowsill took a Silver medal behind Vanessa Fernandes. Presuming she stays healthy, his will mark her first Olympic appearance. (She was also selected for the 2004 Athens Olympics, but didn’t compete). At the same event, Atkinson also took second in the men’s race.
Her string of victories goes on and on…She won the open elite womens ‘ITU World Championship’ held in Gamagori Japan in 2005. She’s also won the Chicago Triathlon, City of Los Angeles Triathlon, Greater London Triathlon, Nossa Triathlon and multiple World Cup events.
This will also be the first Olympic appearance for Kahlefeldt and Atkinson.
