"IT MAKES ONE WANT TO BE VEGAN"
Speaking about the incident that featured interesting moments during the race, the Triathlon Izmir Provincial Representative Adnan Yahşi said, "These are our illegal athletes. As you can see, we also include love for animals in the duathlon. This is the first time something like this has happened to us. Previously, dogs and cows had participated in the races. For the first time, this cute lamb joined us. It was very scared but absolutely adorable. When you see this, it makes one want to be vegan," he said.
The lamb, which stayed on the course for a short time and was removed from the area under the control of the officials, added color to the race. In the duathlon race, the athletes first completed a 5-kilometer running stage consisting of 4 laps. Then, the athletes passed through the 20-kilometer cycling course again in 4 laps, and finally finished the race by completing a 2.5-kilometer running stage consisting of 2 laps.
