Each team consisted of four athletes (two male and two female) and each had to cover a course of 300 metres (0.19mi) swimming, 5 kilometres (3.1mi)road bicycling, and 2 kilometres (1.2mi)road running.[2] In line with World Triathlon rules for this Olympiad, for the first time the race order at the Commonwealth Games was male, female, male, female.
England regained the title they won in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, individual gold medalist Alex Yee creating a twenty second lead over the run stage of the first leg, and Coldwell, Dickinson and a dominant Taylor-Brown never relinquishing it. Non Stanford, building on the strong leg of Olivia Mathias, surged on the final run leg to give Wales its first Commonwealth triathlon medal, a silver 46 seconds behind the gold, with 2018 champions Australia profiting from a fast third leg from Matthew Hauser to hold on to the bronze medal a further three seconds back, but eight clear of fourth placed New Zealand.[4][5][6]
