World Triathlon is proud to announce that the Executive Board has named Laura Patti (ITA), Felix Molina (MEX) and Thanos Nikopoulos (GRE) as the Technical Delegates for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Mr. Nikopoulos will be as well the Technical Delegate in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
“We are extremely proud of the team
that will be delivering the triathlon events in Paris 2024. It is a huge
responsibility but also an immensely rewarding task the one that Laura, Felix
and Thanos have ahead”, said World Triathlon President and IOC member, Marisol
Casado. “With this selection, we are proving once more not only that we have a
strong and committed team of officials and staff members, but also that we are
trusting our female officials, as we have been doing since our debut at the
Olympics in Sydney 2000. I know that the bar is set up high, but I am convinced
that their commitment, hard work and dedication will be once more key to ensure
that the triathlon and para triathlon events will shine more than ever in
Paris”, she said.
“It is a great honor and a privilege
to be trusted again with the duty to lead the Games project with the position
of the Technical Delegate. Once more, in this journey I will be working
together with two of the top technical delegates in our sport, Laura and Felix, and of course the support of
the rest of the World Triathlon staff. We are ready to deliver an incredible
event on the streets of Paris”, said Nikopoulos.
The three officials have a long and
successful experience on triathlon events, having officiated before in Olympic
Games, World Championships and other Major Events around the world. Mr.
Nikopoulos is also the World Triathlon Head of Operations, and was one of the
Technical Delegates of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Paris 2024 will host three medal
events for Triathlon: individual men & women and the Mixed Relay included
in the programme, after the successful debut of the thrilling format in Tokyo.
The schedule for both Olympics and Paralympics in Paris 2024 has not been
released yet.
