ITU Executive Board Date: 20 May 2014 Re: Call to the XXVII Congress of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) Dear ITU Members and Colleagues, The 2014 ITU Congress is approaching and I am very pleased to meet with all of you at the 27th ITU Congress in the beautiful city of Edmonton this August. The city of Edmonton has a great history with triathlon, having organized many high level events in partnership with Triathlon Canada, our host national federation. One event that has left a lasting legacy of triathlon in Edmonton is the 2001 World Championships. Edmonton is also home to the Edmonton Triathlon Academy which provides high performance coaching to young and aspiring athletes. I would also like to thank the Canadian Federation for their hard work and dedication in helping us organize this year’s Congress. We are now almost at the half way point of the WTS season, and I am very happy to see the sport continuing to grow worldwide with more development events, competitions, courses and activities. We should all feel very proud to be involved in this beautiful sport that is growing faster than any other Olympic sport. For those of you who require travel visas to enter Canada, please be reminded to do so promptly. Feel free to contact ITU or the LOC if you would like assistance with the process. I am looking very much forward to seeing all of you in Edmonton. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the ITU staff should you need something from us.
