Barclay also subsequently won a silver medal in the mixed relay event, competing for a team representing Oceania.

[7] Barclay had been portrayed as being "visually impaired"[3] and "disabled"[8] as he chooses to race without contact lenses, something his coach said the triathlete was able to overcome without problem.

Barclay requires glasses outside of competition, and had jokingly claimed to be half-blind without them on a questionnaire athletes were made to fill out for Infostrada Sports before the Games, which was picked up on and transmitted as being fact.

He won a further silver medal in the mixed relay event, teaming up with New Zealand teammate Maddie Dillon and two Australian triathletes to represent Oceania.

[10] Barclay will take part at the 2010 International Triathlon Union Junior World Championships, before making a decision whether or not to turn professional.
