The win received wide coverage in the local newspapers prompting the group to form the South African Triathlon Federation on their arrival.^[citation needed]

The South African Triathlon Federation (what is now known as Triathlon South Africa) was founded with the support of Norrie Williamson in 1984,[3] the name was changed to Triathlon South Africa in 1991.^[citation needed]
