    EUROPEAN TRIATHLON UNION ETU EVENT STATUS: 2001 – 2016 1. INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this document is to provide details about the status of the past and current ETU Events, including strengths and weaknesses. Recommendations will follow each section to provide an opportunity for further discussion with ITU and at the various levels at ETU. ETU main goals on events are: a) Increase the general participation of triathlon and all related multisport in all age-group categories within Europe; b) Provide opportunities for young athletes to access the sport; c) Keep gender balance on all level of competitions; d) Provide a pathway to grow from youth athlete to elite athletes competing at the Olympic Games. 2. GENERAL: A thorough review of the Competition System is required due to: a) the growing number of ITU events in Europe; b) the increased number of participants in all categories; c) the growing demands of Paratriathlon being integrated in the sport; d) the increased number of private international event organising companies wanting to align with our system. 3. ETU TRIATHLON EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS: is the main event of ETU. The event package consist of the following races: elite Olympic Distance Triathlon, the junior Sprint Triathlon event, the Age Group OD and sprint Triathlon, the elite and junior mixed relay, an opening ceremony and the organisation of the ETU Annual General Assembly. ETU is asking to pay an event fee and prize money for both the elite individual event as the elite mixed relay. Having the event live broadcasting is recommended but not mandatory. This means that the LOC has to invest a substantial amount into this organisation.

  • MONDAY 31 St DECEMBER 2007 14 Th DALESIDE BREWERY AULD
    MONDAY 31 s t DECEMBER 2007 14 th DALESIDE BREWERY AULD LANG SYNE 6M/900FT WOW, 19 year old medical student, Alistair Brownlee, clinically dissected the best quality field ever assembled for this finale to the fell running season, just like he did at the Chevin Chase on Boxing Day. An awesome 474 runners turned out to collect their bottle of Daleside Brewery, Old Legover beer, a traditional Yorkshire beer that is described as 'nutty with a fruity taste' just like a lot of the runners? The neck of the bottle had either a picture of the delectable Olivia Walwyn or the handsome Simon Bailey, these were last years winners, so Alistair will now be immortalised on the 2008 brew. The 2006 junior World Triathlon champion, and current European champion was itching for a fast race from the word go, and only recent Stoop race winner and 2004 ALS winner, Andi Jones, who the previous day clocked 30-14 at the Reebock 10k race went with the pace. These two raced it out neck and neck, until the final descent into Sladen beck, where the 10 years Andi was giving Alistair finally took it's toll, as the youngster joyfully descended with much gusto. The very wet climb back to Penistone Hill enabled Alistair to secure his victory, and cross the finish line to set a new course record of 39-07. The previous best was 40-55 by Ian Holmes in 2005, and then equalled by Simon last year. The quality of the field was shown in that the first four broke the previous record, with another international, 26 year old James Walsh of Leeds City third and eleven times winner Ian Holmes fourth and first over 40 with a new record.

    Columbia Threadneedle Rankings Report ITU World Triathlon, London Welcome to the fourth Columbia Threadneedle Rankings Report of 2015, a new series initiated by Columbia Threadneedle Investments which will be distributed after each ITU World Triathlon Series Event. The Report will review the Columbia Threadneedle Rankings and results to identify trends and spot interesting statistics and stories as the 2015 season develops. Women’s Review Once again, we have to start with Gwen Jorgensen! Another Gwensanity masterclass in London from the reigning ITU World Champion and Columbia Threadneedle Rankings leader was her tenth consecutive WTS victory. She now matches the career WTS medals record of Australia’s Emma Moffat with 16 in total, 13 of those being victories. This latest win was also a milestone in terms of defending her World Championship title. With five wins already in 2015, Gwen will have the maximum number of rankings points possible (4000), when she races at the Chicago Grand Final. In the our first report after the Gold Coast event we highlighted that the U.S. women’s podium sweep in Australia was, at that point, only the second time in WTS history that one country had filled all of the podium spots in one race. Well, in London they did it again, and with the same three athletes too. Joining Jorgensen on the podium, this time around Katie Zaferes was able to get the better of Sarah True for the Silver medal. It’s a remarkable run of U.S. consistency which has resulted in the Stars and Stripes earning 12 of the 18 women’s medals awarded in WTS events this season.
