To date, the performance in triathlon has been measured through time or position. Although this is what defines the medals and the goal of the competition, it can have some limitations. As an alternative, the purpose of this study is to assess the degree of concordance of performance between each of the triathlon disciplines with overall performance through the triathlon performance indicator for the Olympic distance event. The official results from the World Triathlon Series for Olympic distance events from 2000 to 2019 were examined. A total of 11,263 entries were analysed, 6273 corresponding to elite men and 4990 to elite women. Moderate agreement was found between the running performance and overall performance in both elite men ICCa = 0.538 and elite women ICCa = 0.581. Moreover, moderate agreement was found between swimming performance and overall performance in both elite men ICCa = 0.640 and elite women ICCa = 0.613. Finally, good agreement was found between cycling performance and overall performance also in both elite men ICCa = 0.777 and elite women ICCa = 0.816. The main results of the present study show that the cycling performance indicator could be an alternative to anticipate the overall performance in the competition for the Olympic distance event.
迄今为止，铁人三项的成绩是通过时间或名次来衡量的。虽然这决定了奖牌归属和比赛目标，但可能存在一些局限性。作为一种替代方法，本研究的目的是通过奥运会距离赛事的铁人三项成绩指标，评估铁人三项各项目的成绩与总成绩之间的一致性程度。研究考察了2000年至2019年世界铁人三项系列赛奥运会距离赛事的官方成绩。总共分析了11263条参赛记录，其中6273条对应精英男性，4990条对应精英女性。在精英男性（组内相关系数ICC a = 0.538）和精英女性（组内相关系数ICC a = 0.581）中，跑步成绩与总成绩之间均发现了中度一致性。此外，在精英男性（组内相关系数ICC a = 0.640）和精英女性（组内相关系数ICC a = 0.613）中，游泳成绩与总成绩之间也发现了中度一致性。最后，在精英男性（组内相关系数ICC a = 0.777）和精英女性（组内相关系数ICC a = 0.816）中，自行车项目成绩与总成绩之间均发现了高度一致性。本研究的主要结果表明，自行车项目成绩指标可以作为预测奥运会距离赛事比赛总成绩的一种替代方法。
