Triathlon: Athens bound for Rina Hill

One-time New Zealand Olympic hopeful Rina Hill is poised to finally get her tilt at a triathlon gold medal after being named in the Australian team for Athens.

Hill, married to a New Zealander, switched allegiance to New Zealand in 1999, but failed to gain citizenship in time to wear the silver fern at Sydney.

The 34-year-old returned to Queensland and despite recently becoming a mother, swayed the national selectors.
