Shane Reed height - How tall is Shane Reed?

Reed was also selected for the New Zealand Olympic team in the men's triathlon, and qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, along with his teammates Kris Gemmell and Bevan Docherty, who later won the silver medal in this event. His brother Matt, however, became a U.S. citizen, just a year before the Olympics, and was competing for the United States. In the men's triathlon, Reed led the field out of the swim leg, and ran strongly within the whole course. He expected to reach a top ten finish with his teammates, but he was not able to maintain his pace after being exhausted from riding the bike. Added to his frustration at not being able to run his own race, Reed was narrowly beaten by his brother Matt, who finished strongly in thirty-second place. In the end, he crossed the finish line by just two places behind his brother, with the time of 1:52:48.
