They had a noisy and colourful contingent of Australian family and friends cheering them on as a constant flow of green and gold crossed the line.

Chiming in with gold for the men were former Freshwater surf lifesaving champion, Robbie Pickard, who has made just as big a name for himself in triathlon over the past 40 years.

And Stephen Purnell from Victoria in the 70-74 years age group.

The three other silvers went to Sally Musgrove (50-54 years), Jane Mountford (NSW) 65-69 years and Craig Davies (WA) 25-29 years with bronze to Jo Ryn Tan (VIC) in the 20-24 years.
