:::One would think. However, the IOC does list the medals won in that event as part of the Athletics discipline. See [http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/results/search_r_uk.asp?KEYWORD=emmerich&x=0&y=0&RESULT=TRUE&KEYWORDS=%22emmerich*%22 here] for instance. To make things worse, there was also an event in Gymnastics that year called the triathlon -- [[Gymnastics at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's triathlon]]. Things only really started (and I do mean ''started'') to make any sense with the 1906 Games. -- [[User:Jonel|Jonel]] ([[User talk:Jonel|Speak to me]]) 05:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC) |

Tables

Nations
There is no every contry's (Kenya, Etiophia...). Why not? PS: I don't speak good english :( Mietoinen (talk) 16:59, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
triathlon?
There's no note at Triathlon at the Summer Olympics about this past event, nor at Triathlon or Triathlon (disambiguation), there's no article for athletic triathlon... so what is it? 70.51.11.210 (talk) 12:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- What it is completely weird! It was held only once, at the 1904 Games. Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's triathlon has more information on it. I've added a bit more to this article. But generally, it was a trio of athletics events contested by gymnasts that appears to have contributed to the gymnastics all-around scores. Information on the 1904 Games is a bit sparse, but that appears to be what happened. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 19:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- If it counted towards gymnastics scores and were competed by gymnasts, shouldn't it be in the Olympic gymnastics set of articles? 70.51.11.210 (talk) 05:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- One would think. However, the IOC does list the medals won in that event as part of the Athletics discipline. See here for instance. To make things worse, there was also an event in Gymnastics that year called the triathlon -- Gymnastics at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's triathlon. Things only really started (and I do mean started) to make any sense with the 1906 Games. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 05:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting... though [1], [2], [3], doesn't show a "triathlon" for gymnasts, just a "combined 3-event"; there's also a "combined 4-event" [4], which matches the "Combined" event article we have on WP. Gymnastic quadrathlon? 70.51.11.210 (talk) 06:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
