WTCS Bermuda Returns
Bermuda is set to make a sun soaked return to the WTCS circuit after a two year unwanted break with the best triathletes coming from around the world to compete on the beautiful island on 5-6 November.
Following the disappointment of the cancelled 2021 event due to Covid-19, 2022 will be the year where Olympic Champion Flora Duffy will have the opportunity to put on a show and race on home soil for the first time since taking gold in Tokyo.
World Triathlon’s Executive Board approved the proposal from Bermuda to once again host an event of triathlon’s top-tier racing, the World Triathlon Championship Series, after the huge success of those held on the island in 2018 and 2019.
The current leaders in the 2022 series after the first two events from 2021 (Hamburg and Abu Dhabi) are Antonio Serrat Seoane (ESP) and Summer Rappaport (USA).

- 18-19 September 2021 – Hamburg

Marisol Casado, World Triathlon President and IOC member, said on the announcement of Bermuda making a return:
“We are delighted to return to Bermuda in 2022, and I am sure that the races will be even more special than the ones we have held there before, with the current – and Bermuda’s first ever – Olympic Champion, Flora Duffy, having the opportunity of racing at home, cheered on by all the Bermudian people who have always been so connected and supportive of triathlon.
“To host a race of this level again on the island shows the dedication and commitment of the National Federation, the local government, the organisers and all the sponsors with growing the sport of triathlon, and I am sure that all the triathletes will love being back in Bermuda next Autumn”.
