Australian team
The Australian Team also included triathletes for the very first time as the sport made its Commonwealth Games debut as a demonstration sport. The triathlon team included just one athlete who would go on represent Australia at the Olympic Games, a decade later in Sydney when triathlon officially debuted on the world stage. That athlete was Michellie Jones.
