Simon Whitfield discovers today if he has another Olympian moment in him at age 37.

The Victoria triathlete and two-time Olympic medal list, who served as the 91原创 team's flag bearer in the 2012 London Summer Games opening ceremony, was set to compete in the men's triathlon through Hyde Park at 3: 30 a.m. 91原创 time.
