For years the Ironman events were on TEN but now both Nine and Seven have taken an interest.

Seven has already telecast highlights of the 2013 Hawaii Ironman at Kona, and now broadcasts a new suite of triathlon events on Seven and 7Mate, including all Asia Pacific Ironman and 70.3 events.

A two-hour highlights package of the Noosa Triathlon coverage will be shown on Sunday November 10 nationwide at 1.30pm – 3.30pm local time on 7mate.

Geoff Meyer, CEO Ironman Asia Pacific, said: “We are delighted to have Seven as our broadcast partner for the next three years that will see increased coverage of our Ironman events and world renowned Noosa and Mooloolaba Triathlon Multi Sport Festivals.”

“The Seven Network is the premier sports broadcaster in Australia and I’ve no doubt that triathlon will be a popular addition to their other iconic sporting events. It is a great outcome for triathlon in Australia.”
