mg.metric geometry - Can any triangle be inscribed in any convex figure?

A more general result is known: if $C$ is any Jordan curve and $T$ is a triangle then there exists a triangle similar to $T$ inscribed in $C.$ Moreover, the vertices of such triangles are dense in $C.$ See the references in the Wikipedia article on the Inscribed Square Problem.
