  • Aquathlon to replace duathlon race at first ANOC World Beach Games

    A swim-run-swim aquathlon race is due to be held at the inaugural Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) World Beach Games in San Diego rather than the run-bike-run duathlon format initially announced.

    The announcement of duathlon as one of 15 sports on the programme led to confusion as it would have meant a cycling leg but no swimming in an event held on a beach.

    insidethegames understands that the International Triathlon Union were among those confused by the announcement.

    Haider Farman, the Olympic Council of Asia Sports Director who is playing a key role organising the Beach Games, confirmed today that it is aquathlon rather than duathlon appearing on the programme.

    One of Austria’s most promising young swimmers has been banned for 12 months for failing a doping test after winning four gold medals at the national championships in July.

    The Austrian Anti-Doping Legal Committee says Sebastian Steffan has tested positive for heptaminol, a blood booster that improves cardiac contraction.

    Steffan’s biggest international success is winning gold in the 200-meter individual medley at the 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.
