Olympic triathlete Hayden Wilde set for surgery after serious bike crash in Japan
Wilde had been in Japan to run 10km for the Tokyo Speed Race on May 3, one day before the bike accident. He had hoped to beat the New Zealand national record of 27m 28s over 10km, but went over by 11s, completing the run in 27m 39s and taking seventh place – still a new personal best for the triathlete. Last month, he competed in the Singapore T100 Triathlon World Tour event. He secured the top spot on the podium, despite it being the Kiwi's first attempt at competing at that distance. A T100 covers 100km of terrain, with a 2km swim, 80km bike and 18km run. Wilde was awarded US$25,000 ($45,000) and 35 points for his debut win, helping to 'set the season off to a really good high', he told media afterwards. After Paris 2024, Wilde indicated he planned to move away from completing Olympic triathlon distances so he could focus on other long-distance events such as the T100. He hoped the change would aid in his preparation for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, telling RNZ he wanted to 'have a mental break'. Wilde is already the recipient of two Olympic medals, with a silver medal won in Paris last year and a bronze won during Tokyo 2020.
