26th ITU CongSess Monday, 16 September 2013 London, UK President Marisol Casado IOC Member San Bernardino, 14 28015, Madrid, Spain 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.
