The sport of Ironman was developed in 1964 in Australia by Mr Valentine Trainor to combine the four main disciplines of surf lifesaving into a single race swimming, board paddling, ski paddling and running. The sport should not be confused with Ironman triathlon . Perhaps the most famous ironman was Grant Kenny , who in 1980 at the age of 16 made the event famous by winning the Australian Junior and Australian Open Ironman championships wdeithin the space of half an hour. Grant became a national hero, appearing on cereal boxes and television advertisements, and was seen as the pinnacle of Aussie sportsmen. The short Ironman event became famous and the centre of attention at all surf carnivals. In the early 1980s a movie was made called The Coolangatta Gold , about an ironman event that required competitors to complete a 42km course along Queensland s Gold Coast. A circuit was then developed that mixed 10 minute Ironman races with the Coolangatta Gold, and a range of other professional Ironman events around Australia. The Coolangatta Gold was resurrected in 2005. The format of the 2006 race was as follows border 1 Leg Discipline Route Distance 1 Ski Surfers Paradise to Greenmount SLSC 23.km 2 Run Greenmount SLSC to Coolangatta SLSC 0.65km 3 Swim Coolangatta SLSC to Bilinga SLSC 3.50km 4 Run Bilinga SLSC to Currumbin SLSC 4.00km 5 Board Currumbin SLSC to Burleigh Heads SLSC 5.50km 6 Run Burleigh Heads SLSC to Surfers Paradise 10.00km Total 46.65km In 1989 an elite group of Ironmen took the sport one step further and created the event for TV. The event was named the Uncle Toby s Super Series and became one of the highlights of the Australian summer sports calendar but today has been replaced by the Kellogs Nutrigrain Ironman Series.
