World Triathlon received a protest
from a representative from the Norwegian Federation regarding the shoes used by
athlete #41, Gustav Iden (NOR), in the World Triathlon Championship Series Abu
Dhabi, held on March 3.
The Head Referee received the
protest. The Athlete’s shoes were collected following the protest and sent to
World Triathlon Head Office in Lausanne for further inspection, according to
the World Triathlon Rules.
According to the protocol, World
Triathlon contacted World Athletics, who has identified and confirmed that
those shoes were listed in their approved shoes list before March 3 under the
name ON SHOES CloudTRI 1 per their specifications, therefore the protest is
dismissed.
The pair of shoes will be returned to
the athlete, and the results are confirmed as stand.
