HACKETT
9TH IN OLYMPIC TRIATHLON
Nicole Hackett has
finished in 9th position in the 2000 Olympic Triathlon with
Australia's other two competitors Michellie Jones and
Loretta Harrop placing 2nd and 5th respectively.
In a great performance Nicole
was one of the 1st three out of the water with the U.S's
Shelia Tormina leading out of the water by a big 32 second
margin.
She was also in the first
chase pack on the bike in the first of the 40-lap ride
around the Sydney CBD. It was not long before Australia's
Loretta Harrop had chased Tormina down and the slog fest had
began.
40 laps later and onto the run
transition 'Nic' had a blinder and was one of the first 3 -
5 onto the 10km/2 lap run.
For one reason or another,
Nicole wasn't in the top 3 (Iam in no way trying to take
anything away from her performance - how good is 9th!) but
completing the race and being in the top 10 which made all
three Aussies in the top 10!!! (Jones 2nd, Harrop
5th).
Something to be proud of,
which Iam sure she is.
Report from SMH Website - Swiss champion
bought Jones to her knees.
