The men's triathlon began in chaotic circumstances after a boat caused a false startHalf the field dived in while the others were blocked off by a boat carrying camera crewWhat an extraordinary (false) start to the Olympic triathlon!

I'm still in shock about that false start, how there wasn't injuries.
