    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.

  • NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 Von Richard Kapun
    NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 von Richard Kapun IRONMAN MIT MUMUKU Der 24. Ironman auf Big Island, Hawaii fand unter verschärften Wetterbedingungen statt. Der gefürchtete Passatwind Mumuku mutierte zum Spielverderber und verhinderte ein Rennen der Rekorde. Dennoch gab es mit dem Kanadier Peter Reid und der Schweizerin Natascha Badmann erwartete Sieger. Wieder Kanada und die Schweiz Wie bei den Olympischen Spielen baumeln auf Big Island die kanadische und die schweizer Flagge am höchsten. Schon zum zweiten Mal standen Reid und Badmann auf der obersten Stufe des Siegertreppchens in Kona. Vor 2 Jahren durften sich die beiden ebenfalls gegenseitig gratulieren. Der 24. Ironman Hawaii wurde vom gefürchteten Passatwind Mumuku stark beeinflußt. Vor allem auf dem Rad waren die Teilnehmer mit einer böigen Naturgewalt konfrontiert. Der Auftaktbewerb im Pazifik vor der Westküste der größten hawaiischen Insel Big Island verlief noch reibungslos und plangemäß. Der Tag begann morgens um 7 mit 29 Grad Celsius und 50 % Luftfeuchtigkeit. Vom 3 kmh langsamen Wind war im Wasser noch nichts zu spüren. Der US-Amerikaner John Westin gewann den Sprint der schnellsten Vierergruppe am Ende der ersten Teilstrecke (49:44 Min.). Dahinter Rukoshuev/USA und sein Landsmann James Bonney. Neben Bonney an vierter Stelle die schnellste Frau, Barb Lindquist/USA. Alle 4 blieben knapp unter 50 Minuten für die 3,8 Auftaktkilometer. Der 44-jährige Ex-Schwimmer John Westin schwamm am schnellsten (49:44) beim Ironman Hawaii 2000. Im nachfolgenden Reigen wurden die ersten Favoriten im Sekundentakt an Land gespült. Zuerst die DeBoom-Brüder dann der Brite Spencer Smith. Von den deutschen Herausforderern nahm Ralph Eggert als Schnellster sein Rad in die Hand.
