Madrid, August 16, 2013

Dear ITU Members, dear colleagues,

As we approach the end of the first year of my second term as president of ITU, I am very pleased to welcome all of you to the 26th ITU Congress in the Olympic City of London. While we are together in September, we will be able to remember the fantastic moments we had during the great Olympic Games in London 2012.

First, I would like to thank our colleagues from the British Federation and our partner Upsolut for all the support they are providing us in the organization of the 26th ITU Congress and Grand Final.

Following the Congress in Auckland where I had the privilege to being re‐elected as ITU President, thanks to your support, we had a very important year for the future of our Sport in the Olympic Movement. We were able to keep triathlon as part of the core sports of the Olympic Programme. Although the IOC did not open the possibility of increasing the number of events for the Río 2016 Olympic Games, we will keep working in promoting our Mixed Relay event for future Olympic Games. I am sure we will succeed soon.

We have also increased our contribution to Development, by doubling the resources to all Continental Confederations, as part of the promise I made in Auckland.

We have consolidated the World Triathlon Series by increasing the television coverage, the quality and security of the events, and the prize money to our athletes.

We are moving the headquarters of ITU to the Olympic City of Lausanne, as a clear strategy to be closer to the main Olympic and Sport Organisations in the World, trying always to increase the importance of our sport.

I am sure we will have a very fruitful Congress in London, where we can start planning our next four years with the new strategic plan.

I wish you a safe trip to London where I look forward to seeing all of you. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the ITU staff should you need something from us.

Best regards,

Marisol Casado ITU President, IOC Member

3. ELECTRONIC VOTING PROCEDURES: 3.1 ITU President, Marisol Casado, gave the floor to the ITU Secretary General, Loreen Barnett, who introduced the electronic voting system that was planned for use during the voting. Loreen Barnett introduced Enrique Quesada, ITU Director of Results and Entries who introduced the staff from MSL, the company offering the electronic voting system. The MSL staff explained some points about the electronic voting tablets. 3.2 Point of Order: Datuk Balwant Singh Kler (MAS) stated that Article 15 of the Constitution says that we cannot use electronic balloting. a) Loreen Barnett said that this matter was dealt with by the Constitution Committee. b) Bernard St Jean of FRA and Antonio Arimany (staff representative) from the Constitution Committee were asked by Loreen Barnett to explain the Constitution Committee’s opinion on the matter. They explained that the article in the Constitution deals with voting by members, who are not present in the Congress room. c) Loreen Barnett explained that the ITU Executive Board unanimously approved the opinion of the Constitution Committee that this article deals with people outside the room and is referring to proxy votes. MOTION: Moved Balwant Singh Kler (MAS), seconded Philip Schaedler (LIE): That we use the regular way of voting. DISCUSSION: d) Philip Peñaloza (HKG) stated that they tried to put in electronic voting in their Extraordinary Meeting and it failed and they are very technologically sound in HKG. Their members had concerns about the integrity of the system because we have never tested it before. e) The term proxy votes was explained as a vote that is given to other people who are attending the meeting. f) Peter Hedge of AUS commented that Triathlon Australia has used electronic voting in the past and have had great success. Their auditors have called it robust and the members have found it easy to use. g) Peter Hedge of AUS suggested we finish the education of the system and decide on the integrity of it. h) Emil Stoynev of BUL commented that some of the Russian speakers may need translation from Anatoly Korobov of RUS and of the Executive Board.

 Loreen Barnett said we only have translation from English to Spanish, even though we have great respect for the Slavic languages. Zoya Yarosh (RUS) is sitting with the Russian language speakers and doing translation. i) Sharif Abu Shkewiat, LIB, suggested we do a test election and then make a decision after that.

ITU 25th Congress  Agenda  23 October, 2012 4

3.3 Enrique Quesada began the education of the procedure again and presented the test question: “Who won the London Olympic Games Women’s Triathlon? (1 to be selected)” a) The first test vote was affected by a global internet issue that impacted the data delivery so a second practice test was conducted which was, “Where is the 2012 Grand Final? (One to be selected.) b) Peter Hedge of AUS said that people are trying to sabotage the results or there is a mistake with the voting system. He suggests that people show the delegate next to them that they voted correctly. He is disappointed that KPMG, as the ITU auditors, had not been consulted to certify that this system works. c) There was a one vote discrepancy in the first test vote but the MSL representative explained that this was due to someone voting after it was shown on the tablet but it showed on the television screen. d) Antonio Alvarez, ITU Vice President, suggested that for President and Secretary General we use the old system and we use this new system for the less important elections. e) Loreen Barnett said that the motion needs to be postponed until after the appointment of the tellers and scrutineers and the confirmation of new members.

4. ROLL CALL AND ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS: 4.1 Sheila O’Kelly, Chair of the Credentials Committee confirmed the presence of the following voting members: Argentina Egypt Korea Palestine Australia El Salvador Kuwait Panama Austria Estonia Latvia Papua New Guinea Bangladesh Fiji Lebanon Paraguay Barbados Finland Libya Peru Belarus France Liechtenstein Philippines Belgium Germany Lithuania Poland Bermuda Gibraltar Luxembourg Portugal Brazil Great Britain Macedonia Puerto Rico British Virgin Islands Greece Madagascar Qatar Bulgaria Guatemala Malaysia Russia Burundi Honduras Maldives Rwanda Cameroon Hong Kong Mauritius Serbia Canada Hungary Mexico Singapore Chile India Monaco Slovakia China Indonesia Mongolia Slovenia Chinese Taipei Iran Morocco South Africa Colombia Iraq Nepal Spain Cook Islands Ireland Netherlands Sri Lanka Costa Rica Israel New Zealand St. Kitts/Nevis Croatia Italy Nicaragua Suriname Czech Republic Jamaica Nigeria Sweden Denmark Japan Norfolk Island Switzerland Dominican Republic Jordan Norway Tahiti Ecuador Kazakhstan Oman Thailand

16. RESOLUTIONS FROM MEMBER NATIONAL FEDERATIONS

RESOLUTION 4: FROM THE MEXICAN TRIATHLON FEDERATION Whereas the age group competitions worldwide have grown in huge numbers in the last 4 years; And whereas many ITU NFs already have draft legal races for their age group National Championships; And whereas the draft rules in ITU Age group World Championships are inconsistently implemented and difficult to officiate; And whereas the current draft rules are based only on the Technical Official´s judgment and are merely subjective rules based on appreciation; And whereas the juniors, U23 and elite categories already compete with draft legal format in all ITU competitions (standard distance or shorter); And whereas the success of Triathlon in the Olympic Games have resulted in more televised ITU competitions with draft legal formats; And whereas ITU has always been a proactive and innovative organization; Be it resolved that this ITU Congress approve to hold ITU Age group competitions with the draft legal format for all standard distance Triathlons and Duathlons or shorter, beginning in the 2013 Triathlon World Championships so the NFs and age group athletes have one year to adapt; And be it further resolved that the ITU Technical Committee defines the new draft legal rules for age group competition and submit for approval to the ITU Executive Board before December 31, 2012.

ITU 25th Congress  Agenda  23 October, 2012 12

Therefore be it resolved that at each annual Congress there be submitted for review by the members a comparison of the previous fiscal year’s budget to actual statement of operations. DISCUSSION: a) Loreen Barnett said the Executive Board supports this Resolution. APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY

RESOLUTION 6: FROM LIECHTENSTEIN TRIATHLON FEDERATION: Whereas in the last four years, the goal of improving the numbers of athletes and races in Winter Triathlon ITU Championships and Series races was not achieved; And whereas there are many reasons for it but one of the main reasons is ITU's low investment and support for the Winter Triathlon and its aspiration to get into the Winter Olympic Games. And whereas the low support and investment did not encourage NFs to invest in Winter Triathlon either and unfortunately undermined ITU's credibility regarding its Olympic goal for Winter Triathlon as well; Therefore it shall be resolved that ITU shall develop a 4-years development plan including how to actively lobbying Winter Triathlon with the IOC and other International Winter Federations and Organisations to make Winter Triathlon a serious candidate for the Winter Olympics; And be it further resolved that ITU shall try to find out how Winter Triathlon can be better developed in working together with International Winter Federations (FIS or IBU); And be it further resolved that ITU shall have a minimum budget of $50'000 USD p.a. for the next four years to develop Winter Triathlon; And be it further resolved that ITU shall make Winter Triathlon a part of development plans in all its Continental Confederations. DISCUSSION a) Loreen Barnett announced that the Executive Board voted non-concurrence with the Resolution. b) Philip Schaedler (LIE) spoke in favour of the Resolution. RESOLUTION DEFEATED.

RESOLUTION 7: FROM LIECHTENSTEIN TRIATHLON FEDERATION: Whereas the salaries of the Development Coordinators are included in the Development Budget of each Confederation; And whereas this is putting the Coordinators in a worse position than the other contracted ITU staff as they have to pay the entire social costs themselves and they have to defend their salaries also against the Confederation's interest. And whereas the Development Coordinators should be treated equal with all other ITU Staff, Therefore be resolved that the salaries of the Development Co-ordinators are taken out of the Continental Development budget and integrated in the budget for ITU staff and treated equally to other ITU staff.

DISCUSSION: a) Loreen Barnett announced that the Executive Board voted in favour of this Resolution. b) Jaromir Horak, CZE spoke in favour of the Resolution. RESOLUTION APPROVED.

RESOLUTION 9 - FROM NATIONAL FEDERATIONS – TRIATHLON IRELAND: Whereas there is currently a large variance of function, activity and effectiveness across the ITU Continental Federations with no apparent best practice model or clear definition of the key functions of a Continental Federation. And whereas one function that is critical to the overall ITU event and athlete ranking is the organisation of a Continental Championships and Continental Cup race though this is not mandated within the Constitution; it is noted that some great work is being done by the ITU Development Co-coordinators in these regions, though this also varies both in function and effectiveness from region to region. Greater clarity is required. Therefore be it resolved that the ITU Constitution Committee review and further define the role and responsibilities of the Continental Confederations by expanding Article 19; with draft amendments ready for approval at the 2013 ITU Congress for implementation in the 2014 season". DISCUSSION: a) Loreen Barnett said that the Executive Board voted in favour of the resolution, as long as it is delayed for a year. b) IRL spoke in favour of the Resolution. RESOLUTION APPROVED, with the proviso that that it was delayed for a year.

RESOLUTION 10 - FROM NATIONAL FEDERATIONS – TRIATHLON IRELAND: Whereas the limiting of terms of office is a simple governance principle which ensures the strategic personnel of the organisation remain fresh and management/direction remains current with the development of the sport. If directors are in office a very long time this prevents new ideas/fresh eyes which may have much to offer/greater experience/qualification being involved and hence making a positive contribution to the development of the sport.

ITU 25th Congress  Agenda  23 October, 2012 14

Be it resolved that an additional clause be added at 17.4 (c) to read: No member of the executive Board shall be allowed to serve any more than two consecutive terms of Office, with the exception of the Table Officers who can serve up to three consecutive terms of office. This amendment will apply to all current serving Board members whose start of first term may pre- date this resolution. DISCUSSION: a) Loreen Barnett said that the Executive Board suggested that the Resolution be referred to the Constitution Committee for report back at the next Congress. b) IRL spoke in favour of the Resolution but agreed to withdraw the Resolution. They look forward to working with the Constitution Committee on preparing a Resolution for the next Congress.

RESOLUTION 11 - FROM NATIONAL FEDERATIONS – TRIATHLON IRELAND: Whereas the achievements, effort and commitment of the current Secretary General/quasi CEO are to be praised and commended. And whereas it is good governance to ensure a clear separation of duties and authority between the board and the staff of an organisation and the formal appointment of a CEO is a key step to achieving this. Be it resolved that on the retirement of the current CEO/Secretary General, the CEO post should be reviewed and that future appointment should be via an open and transparent recruitment process to appoint a highly credentialed sports management professional, who is capable of dealing with the high level demands, and providing the operational thinking, decision making and staff management and direction required to manage the IF strategy delivery; And further be it resolved that such recruitment should be by a panel comprising the President, the two VPs receiving the most votes at the prior elections, an independent (non- table) Board member and an NF representative with experience of an equivalent role in an ITU NF. DISCUSSION: a) Loreen Barnett said that the Executive Board agreed in principle with the resolution as a review of the organisation should be part of good governance. This support was contingent on the resolution having no impact on the constitution. b) IRL spoke in favour of the Resolution. They did not want it to be seen as directed at any one individual but rather opening the matter for discussion. RESOLUTION APPROVED.

17. ELECTIONS: 17.1 Vice President Kyung-Sun Yu spoke to the Congress. He felt that the presentations this morning from the President and Secretary General were part of an election campaign and not regular reports. He said he has great respect for both individuals but we need to consider everything when we are voting.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members of the Executive Board of International Triathlon Union

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of International Triathlon Union, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2012 and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Triathlon Union as at December 31, 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for- profit organizations.

Comparative information Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2 to the financial statements, which describes that International Triathlon Union adopted Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations on January 1, 2012 with a transition date of January 1, 2011. These standards were applied retrospectively by management to the comparative information in these financial statements, including the balance sheet as at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and related disclosures. We were not engaged to report on the comparative information, and as such, it is unaudited.

DRAFT 3 International Triathlon Union Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2012

(expressed in US dollars)

1 Purpose of the organization

The International Triathlon Union (the Organization) is incorporated without share capital under the Canada Corporations Act. The Organization is registered as a non-profit organization with the Government of Canada under the provision of the Canada Corporations Act (Sport Federation). The Organization’s purpose is to develop, promote and generally advance the world-wide sport of Triathlon, Duathlon and its other related multi-sports. As a non-profit organization, the Organization is not subject to tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

2 Significant accounting policies

Effective January 1, 2012, the Organization elected to adopt Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (ASNPO) as issued by the Canadian Accounting Standards Board. The accounting policies selected under this framework have been applied consistently and retrospectively as if these policies had always been in effect. The Organization has not utilized any transitional exemptions on the adoption of ASNPO. There were no adjustments to the balance sheet or the statements of operations and expenditures, and statement of changes in net assets.

The significant accounting policies are summarized below:

Revenue recognition

The Organization follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are initially deferred and recognized as revenue when the related expenses are incurred or the restrictions have been met.

Revenue for services provided is recorded when earned and collection is reasonably assured. Sponsorship revenue is recorded in the period the amounts relate to or the sponsorship requirements are met.

The contribution received every four years from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is based on a formula determined by the IOC for sharing television rights revenue from the Olympic Games. This contribution is unrestricted. In 2012, the Organization received $14 million from the IOC related to the London Olympics.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with terms to maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments consist of highly liquid investments with terms to maturity between ninety days and one year at the date of acquisition.

DRAFT 3 International Triathlon Union Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2012

(expressed in US dollars)

Investments

Investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue represents advance receipt of sponsorship revenue, event and affiliation fees. The revenue from event and affiliation fees is recognized in the year in which the event is held or to which the fees relate. Sponsorship revenue is restricted for specific use and is recognized in the year the related expenses are incurred, as required under the agreement.

Capital assets

Land and building comprise a strata title in a multi-unit commercial complex. Purchased capital assets are recorded at cost. Betterments that extend or enhance the estimated life or service potential of an asset are capitalized. When a capital asset no longer contributes to the Organization’s ability to provide services, its carrying amount is written down to its residual value.

Capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the following periods:

Building 30 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Computer and TV equipment 3 years

Contributed services

A number of volunteers contribute a significant amount of time to the Organization each year. The value of certain services donated to the Organization by its members and others is not recognized or disclosed in the financial statements and related notes due to the difficulty of determining the fair value.

Foreign currency

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than US dollars are translated at the rate in effect at the date of the balance sheet. Transactions in currencies other than US dollars are translated at the rate in effect at the transaction date. Gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in the exchange rate associated with these transactions are recorded in the period they arise. Non-monetary assets are recorded at the historical rate of exchange in effect at the date of acquisition.

DRAFT 3 International Triathlon Union Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2012

(expressed in US dollars)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include valuation of accounts receivable and the determination of the useful lives of capital assets for purposes of amortization. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents and investments are measured at fair value.

Accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their relatively short periods to maturity.

3 Investments

Investments consist of mutual funds, denominated in US dollars, held with a Canadian chartered bank. The mutual funds comprise money market instruments and a US dollar managed income portfolio that is focused on generating a high level of regular income with a secondary focus on modest capital growth. The mutual funds are considered low risk investments.

6 Financial instruments

Foreign currency risk

The Organization faces foreign currency risk on its cash and cash equivalents and investments denominated in currencies other than US dollars as follows:

2012 2011 $ $ (Unaudited) Canadian dollars (CA$401,162; 2011 - CA$1,284,223 (unaudited)) 402,689 1,262,756 Euros (€358,862; 2011 - €256,864 (unaudited)) 473,183 333,200 Swiss francs (2,928 CHF; 2011 - 7,551 CHF (unaudited)) 3,199 8,053 879,071 1,604,009

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. It arises primarily on interest-bearing financial instruments held in the mutual funds account. The Organization does not use derivative financial instruments to manage the effects of this risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Organization is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties in connection with its accounts receivable.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Organization cannot meet the demand for cash or fund its obligations as they become due. Management minimizes its exposure to liquidity risk by regularly monitoring cash flows. The Organization is not exposed to significant liquidity risk.

7 Investment in World Triathlon Stockholm AB and loan receivable

The Organization purchased 110 shares of World Triathlon Stockholm AB (“WTS”) in 2012 for 385,000 SEK (US$59,136). The Organization has a minority position and does not have significant influence and as a result, the investment is recorded at cost. As part of this agreement, the Organization is committed to pay their proportionate share of the losses incurred by WTS. The Organization also loaned funds to the Swedish Triathlon Federation in the amount of 472,500 SEK (US$72,576).

ITU President’s Report September 2013

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: 2013 is the first year of my new term after the Auckland elections, where I received the honour of being re-elected, thanks to the support of the Na- tional Federations. We also elected a new Execu- tive Board for a new term of 4 years. The new Executive Board and I started to plan the new 4 years term with a strategy meeting in Ma- drid in January. During that time we reviewed the Strategic Plan for the years 2009-2013 and started to work on renewing the plan for the next four years. During our second meeting in Yokohama in May, we had another opportunity to analyse and create the main lines of the new strategy which we are very pleased to present to you at this Congress. The fundamental aim is to make ITU a more sustainable organization, consolidating our presence in the Olympic and Paralympic movement and with our WTS and Upsolut partnership, and creating a more sustainable network of events that guarantees the future of ITU. Since Auckland, we also reviewed the internal workings of the staff and the three office locations. To assist with this we hired Kinetics, a very professional Swiss Consultancy company. The relationship with our marketing and television partner, Upsolut, continues to strengthen as we work to create a more sustainable World Triathlon Series. Thanks to the creation of the WTS Commission we have developed a very good way to secure the series for the future. We worked in a positive way to influence the IOC decision about the Core Sports on the Olympic programme which had a very positive outcome for triathlon. Thanks to the wonderful performance of our athletes on a high quality field of play in Londonwe enjoyed significant increases in TV and internet spectators, which is key to our profile within the Olympic movement. Unfortunately the IOC decided not to increase the number of athletes and medals for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, so our strong campaign for adding the Mixed Relay into the Olympic Program was not successful. Still, I am very sure that we will succeed in the near future. Very special attention has been paid to Development as one of the main areas of our work. More details can be found later in this report. From a financial point of view, our success in the London Olympic Games was huge and we have being able to have an extraordinary contribution from the IOC that will allow us to create a contingency fund for the future of ITU. The work of myself and the board is an endless process and we are at the beginning of planning the strategy for the next four years’ time. With the increased funding from the IOC the future is very bright for our organisation.

ITU Table Officers, Innsbruck, 2012

DEVELOPMENT has been my main focus since our Auckland Congress. As promised, we increased the financial resources allocated to all Continental Confederations by 200%. We also created a new structure in which the Confederations have a larger role in the development policies and projects within their region. As the President of ITU, I am trying to meet face to face with as many Federations as possible. It is my clear policy to use these meetings to try to understand the various situation of our Members. 2013 began with a meeting of the Presidents’ of the Continental Confederation in Madrid. During this meeting we discussed new policy and the new financial funding. I was delighted to be able to sign Development agreements with each Presidents for 2013, with the new financial figures. During this meeting, we used the results of the poll sent to all developing and emerging National Federations in late 2012 – thank you to everyone who responded with information about individual NF needs. This information is an important tool to define the future developing actions. During the second World Conference on Science and Triathlon in Magglingen, Switzerland, I had the opportunity to meet with a large number of coaches and National Federation representative. This conference was a big success for ITU! All the coaches and doctors were able to share their knowledge in a very professional environment. The Magglingen conference also enabled me to meet with the ITU Coaches and Medical Commit- tees as well as the new ITU development staff. The main focus of the meeting was to prepare new policies for the coming years and to identify support we could provide to National Federations. After these initial meetings, I embarked on an extensive travel schedule within my responsibilities as an IOC Member, ASOIS Executive Board Member, Executive Board Member of SportAccord and as a representative of the Madrid 2020 Olympic bid. I took advantage of opportunity to meet with the Presidents of many National Federations, including: I also traveled to Warsaw, Poland to meet with all of the Presidents of European federations to wit- ness the Development programmes established there. A similar meeting with the Presidents of the South American federations is planned prior to the IOC Session in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the beginning of September.

Prior to the opening of the World Masters Games in Torino in August, I met with the Presidents of the Continental Confederations of Africa and Europe in order to define the development programmes for the future. Prior to our Congress in London, I will visit the ITU Junior Development Camp hosted in Portugal, where athletes and coaches of developing countries are learning from special ITU facilitators and coaches. Development continues to be a core task for me in my role as President of ITU.

WORLD TRIATHLON SERIES The World Triathlon Series continues to be our core event product, with a strong focus on maximising the profile and profitability of the series. As always athlete welfare is central to the strategy of the Series . This year the Series prize purse reached US$2.24 million – the highest prize purse in the history of the Series. Combined with the World Cup Se- ries almost US$3 million will be awarded in 2013. Once again the media exposure of the series grew to record levels ensuring increased brand exposure for athletes and National Federations. The increased media exposure should be seen as an important form of development of the sport. The final figures for 2012 boasted over 5.4 billion TV contacts and over 1000 hours of international broadcast time – a significant increase on the2011 figures. While the final TV figures for 2013 won’t be available until November, mid season indications show that this exposure will be significantly increased yet again. Early season events have received a 100% increase in TV exposure on previous years. ITU and the Series has also adapted to the changing media landscape. Social media is playing an increasingly important role in gaining both media exposure and engagement in the sport. Facebook fans have increased by 25% and Twitter followers by 180% since congress last year. Website traffic is up 19% and over one quarter of all traffic to triathlon.org is now via a mobile device. We will need to continue to adapt aggressively to the changing media environment. All of this of course could not be possible without a dedicated commercial partner – Upsolut. They have invested significant resources into the Series and have continuously exceeded expectations of a regular partnership. The dedicated ITU team from the Sport, Administration and Finance, Anti-Doping , Media & Communications departments have all contributed to making the Series a success. The World Triathlon Series has set new standards in event hosting, technical operations and media and marketing. This has in turn helped to raise the corresponding standards in the lower tier events of the World Cup, Continental Cups and Continental Championships. Our challenge for the future is to work more closely with sponsors to attract and retain more global partners. Sponsors are increasingly looking for more engagement and interaction with our participants and we must work diligently to help service their needs. In the future we will:

 Continue to increase the quality and sustainability of all events.

 Increase the number and quality of ITU events in new and emerging National Federations.

 Collaborate with and attract major event organisers, such as Ironman, Tri star, Challenge, X-Terra and Powerman to be part of the global Triathlon family.

O LYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC MOVEMENT 2013 was a year where we continued to raise the profile of our sport on the Olympic front. The strong- est point is that we received more Olympic funding than previously anticipated due to the extraordinary success of the London Olympic Games. This extra capital has helped ITU increase development funding and also contribute towards ITU’s contingency fund, which is prudent fiscal management. The IOC released its criteria for grouping sports at the ASOIF General Assembly. The criteria place 95% of the weight on media and public perception of the sport, with the remaining 5% on universality. TV has a 40% weight (total maximum TV, average viewers per minute (AMR), viewer hours) Internet is 20% (page views, searches, unique viewers, views on YouTube, social media user generated / publication content, page views on Olympic.org) General Public – 15% (favourite sports among general public) Spectators -10% (Number of tickets requested in host country, percentage of available tickets sold) Press – 10% (Number of press articles, favourability - tone of press articles) Universality – 5% (Number of NF’s that organise national championships, Number of Continents win- ning medals etc.) Triathlon remained in Group D, which is a very positive result for the sport considering a number of sports were demoted to lower categories. We should consider that with only two medal events and only five hours of Television time, this is the best result that triathlon could have hoped for. Triathlon performed impressively considering its limited number of events. The average minute rating (AVR) for the sport was 36 million, which means on average 36 million people globally watched each minute of the sport which was broadcast. This was 300% higher than the lowest sport and only 13 million less than the highest sport. The criteria signifies that ITU is on the correct path with maximising the media exposure of the World Triathlon Series and highlights the importance of a robust media platform. Unfortunately, ITU had its application for programme status for Mixed Relay for the 2016 Olympic Games rejected by the IOC. The IOC rejected all requests from all International Federations which resulted in more medals or participants. Unfortunately they deemed that the Local Organising Committee could not handle any increase in complexity. ITU received internal feedback that triathlon had one of the most comprehensive and detailed applications of all sports. ITU will not be deterred and will continue to campaign for Mixed Relay’s inclusion in the 2020 Games. We will continue to host exhilarating World Championships in the discipline such as we saw this year in Hamburg. It is a success with broadcasters and spectators and it is a powerful tool to develop our sport among the youth. In my role as IOC member and ITU representative I have also attended over 60 official functions including Continental Confederation congresses, National Federation one-on-one meetings, Sport Accord, the ASOIF General Assembly, YOG coordination meetings and many more. Our debut on the Paralympic programme in 2016 has lots of challenges. However, we are blessed with a hard working Paratriathlon Committee, strong leadership from Eboard and staff liaison and a core of professional advisors. We were very disappointed with the 3 men’s and women’s categories we received, which is far less that ITU 6 x 6 categories. But we are confident that we’ll stage an exceptional event in Rio.

“ITU TEAM” The concept of the “ITU Family” is key for the evolution of the sport of Triathlon, and the size of the family is growing all the time. The number of new National Federations that have become members of ITU over the last year is phenomenal. Our main goal now is to activate those NFs that have embraced our family in the last years, helping them to have events, athletes, coaches, officials. In other words, establish the sport in their country. Thanks to the work of our Sport Department, we have seen tremendous growth in the quality and quantity of the technical officials and event organisers, thanks to a well-structured, professional education programme for officials worldwide. Our presence in all forms of media has increased as well as witnessed by the increase in TV viewers of the WTS during this year. Thanks to the innovative nature of our media team, we have made important efforts to increase our presence on social media channels. To this end, I have also joined the world of bloggers and twitter advocates as I believe we all must embrace these forms of communications. I am proud to see that in just a few weeks I have over 600 followers on twitter—I trust you all feel you have better connections with me now. The WTS has increased its presence on all social media channels and together with our partner Upsolut we are increasing the popularity there. I have met with Christian Toetzke, Upsolut during many occasions this year to collaborate on ways to maximise our partnership. Upsolut is a central member of our family and our relation with them is key for the future and I have made this very clear. Dedicating more ITU staff to the WTS in order to be able to create a more sustainable product of the WTS is a feature of our new strategy. We collaborated with Upsolut around our presence at the SportAccord convention in Saint Petesburg were we jointly had a promotional stand. This that provided us with the opportunity to meet with many potential cities that would like to organise a WTS event. I also had the opportunity to be present to launch the new WTS event in Chicago, where we will have the Grand Final in 2015, after we will go to Edmonton in 2014. We negotiated our sponsorship, merchandising and TV rights of the World Cup to a marketing agency called B Dream. The contract will start next year and will end in 2016. We hope that in the near future some revenues and cost savings will come back from this agreement. It has been our intention to promote the multisport events, and this year we were able to include the Duathlon World Championships inside the World Games in Cali. Our event was a huge success and we were able to prove how an event should be organised. This was the first time ITU was included in the World Games, and this experience will be analysed in the future for developing the multisport events. During this year we have being able to activate all Committee with my clear instruction to make them more operative. I think all of them have done incredible work and it make me feel very proud of the people that are working in the committees. Our fight against doping in our sport is the keyfocus of our Anti-doping policy. We should be proud that ITU is one of the few Federations that have established the Biological passport. Each year we increase our strategy to find cheaters in an intelligent way, while maintaining a strong testing programme in order to be sure that we have a clean sport. We will continue in this path in the future years. Our work within the Paralympics is making us stand out in the process of integration within the Paralympic movement. We all must be very proud of the fact that we are the International Fed- eration that has being congratulated by the Internal Paralympic Committee for the outstanding work we are doing in this area. All of us, as Team ITU must be proud of our achievements and of the future ahead of us.

Looking back as the Teammanager of the Belgian Triathlon Federation (Belgian Triathlon Federation)

During the years before 2000, I did a lot of research about the triathlon Federation of Belgium. I visited a lot of teams, region’s, potential sponsors and make a plan for the next 12 Years. I organised a congress with all the people who involved with triathlon or Duathlon in Flanders. I show them my results of the research as well as I show them my new plan for the future. After this all I asked everybody to participate on the voting of what we go to do in the future, How we wants to work and if we can do this together…

In 1998 there was totally no structure in Belgium about triathlon: there was just only a calendar with triathlon-and duathlonraces and we had for each triathlete or duathlete a license.

After 1998; we built up a structure: IN the beginning we had two people who working officially for the federation: - one for the administration - one for the development of our sports (MYSELF)

In 2005: There was already structure with about 5 people who working for the federation and a lot of people where working together with the federation:

Relationships with all key athletes are strong as indicated in end of year debriefs and programme surveys through 2009-2012. Additionally rebuilding of relationships has occurred. e.g. I now coach an athlete who I suspended from the programme for 6 months in 2010. . Key stakeholder relationships in sport have been maintained at the highest level. These have included athletes, parents, personal coaches, peers, and funding sources. This has occurred domestically and internationally . In the cycle sales industry I built and maintained relationships with a variety of people and personalities across suppliers, retail managers / staff, consumers, and employer. e.g. the retail accounts voted in awarding me Cycle Industry Account Manager of the year, this was won on 3 occasions against 45 other account managers

The campaigns have gone through many adjustments to manage accelerated progress and many injury hurdles. The London Olympic campaign has been acknowledged as very well managed in the London debrief survey conducted and published in October 2012 . All program athletes have improved their world ranking through support from the Tri NZ support . Experience in case management of athlete injuries has been approached by leading a team of experts, consultation and gathering information to help make an informed decision, development of a plan and then implementation of a plan. Training days and all competition plans have been fulfilled. ( refer appendix around case management notes and IPP)

Sales analysis of multiple accounts looking at trends, profits and opportunities for small-medium retail businesses .

Page 6 Nominee for ITU Constitution Committee 2013

Garry J Boon (Dip. Business)

Kia Ora, hello,

Thank you for considering my nomination to the ITU Constitution Committee.

Below is a very brief outline of my long association with the sport of triathlon as well as a snap shot of my business experience.

The dictionary describes ‘Constitution’ as;

A set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organisation is governed.

The very fast development of the sport of Triathlon on the global stage means that the governing body for the sport (ITU) must work exceptionally smartly to ensure that its governance structures are in line with ‘todays’ expectations of all of the stakeholders in the sport. The fundamental principals we operate under today may not be appropriate for us in the future.

With more than 11 years serving on the governance board of Triathlon New Zealand (9 as President), I am now very keen to bring some of this experience to the sport at international level. During this period with Triathlon New Zealand, we have undertaken two comprehensive reviews of our Constitution and as a consequence our sport enjoys very high profile in our small country. We are also widely viewed as a leader in sports governance and management in sport mad New Zealand.

As chairman of the Triathlon New Zealand board, I had a key role in leading the process for establishing the governance structure for delivery of the 2012 ITU Barfoot and Thompson World Triathlon in Auckland. I was a member of the board of directors for this event for the 4 year duration of planning and delivery.

In my ‘real life’ I practice as a Business and Project Management Consultant in the construction and facilities management industry. I have been involved in the construction industry most of my life and have held senior executive roles in government and private sector corporations.

My involvement in the sport of Triathlon extends back to the 1980’s when I participated in my first local standard course event. Since then I have been a regular age group participant and I have also competed in several ITU World Championships the first being in Perth, Australia in 1997.

I am absolutely committed to the growth and continuing advancement of our amazing sport of triathlon, and I honestly believe that a strong and purposeful constitution and robust governance will ensure that the sport continues its incredible rise to the top of global sport.

Thank you for your support.
