Further Suspension Of All World Triathlon Activities
World Triathlon have extended the suspension of all activities further to a new date of June 30th, due to the current situation worldwide with the COVID-19 outbreak.
World Triathlon President and IOC member, Marisol Casado stated “The suspension of all activities doesn’t mean at all that we stop working. We are meeting with athletes, coaches, National Federations, Continental Confederations, the IOC, the IPC, the organisers and our Committees involved in these activities to work on alternative dates and possibilities, as well as monitoring daily the situation while following the World Health Organization recommendations”
They also stated they are working hard with all the affected Local Organisers, National Federations and Continental Confederations to try and create the best outcome in order to still offer athletes a fair opportunity to race and compete once the pandemic has been controlled and lockdown bans have been lifted.
World Triathlon reiterate that they recommend everyone to follow their local health authorities’ recommendations, and to stay at home.
