    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.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 09 February 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 03 February to Monday 09 February 2009 NZRL loses its shirt as company goes bust: THE cash-strapped New Zealand Rugby League is set to lose the shirt off its back. The company that makes the World Cup winner's jersey is reported to have gone into administration. Sydney's Sun-Herald newspaper is today reporting the Australian division of International Sports Clothing which also supplies the Air New Zealand Cup's Manawatu and Bay of Plenty unions, six NRL clubs, Australian Super 14 franchises and two AFL teams has been placed in administration. Tough times ahead as crisis hits clubs: PARRAMATTA chief executive Denis Fitzgerald says he is open to offers to privatise the club amid fears some NRL teams may not survive the global economic crisis. The financial downturn has already had a severe impact on rugby league, with several clubs reporting that sponsors have either pulled the pin or are struggling to fulfil their commitments. While there are no current expressions of interest in buying into the Eels, Fitzgerald confirmed privatisation could be an option to ensure the club weathers the financial storm. Enjoy the calm before the Storm: Hamilton City council expects a good turnout and a profitable day when the Warriors play the Storm next Thursday. The Hamilton City Council is confident next Thursday's New Zealand Warriors-Melbourne Storm rugby league clash will be a financial success. It says that because neither team is being paid an appearance fee the city will break even if it sells 8000 tickets.
