Triathlon

Four triathletes (two per gender) were initially selected on 13 March 2022. [26] Following a formal complaint that women's trials winner Megan Irungu had not covered the entire course, a second trials race was held (won by Aisha Nasser). [27] The NOC-K ordered a third iteration as the swimming leg of the second race was not held in open water; Nasser won that race as well. [28]
