World Triathlon is pleased to
announce several added events for the 2024 season calendar, including a change
of date of the much-awaited kick-off of the World Triathlon Championship Series
Abu Dhabi, one more Para Cup event in Hungary and six more World Cups confirmed
on the calendar.
In what will be a huge year with all
eyes on the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the qualification periods
for both will see crucial opportunities for athletes to earn points on the
qualification rankings before the cut-off dates: 27 May 2024 for the Olympic
rankings and 1 July 2024 for the Paralympic rankings.
The 2024 World Triathlon Championship
Series will begin once more in Abu Dhabi, but one week later than the
previously announced date. On 8-9 March, the UAE will host the first stop of
the Championship Series, along with a Mixed Relay Series and a Para Cup.
New Zealand will host the opener of
the World Cup circuit in 2024, by moving the former event in New Plymouth to
Napier and to two weeks earlier for
February 24-25, that will also include a World Triathlon Mixed Relay Series
event, both of them providing points for the Olympic rankings.
Another city ready to make its debut
on the World Cup circuit is Hong Kong, which will host a sprint distance race
on the weekend of 23-24 March. Australia will return to the World Cup circuit,
with Wollongong hosting another Sprint distance race on 20-21 April, while the
Chinese city of Chengdu will be part once again of the calendar, with the first
Standard distance points on offer on the World Cup that will be hosted on
Monday, April 29.
Another addition to the 2024 race
calendar is Tiszaujvaros (Hungary). The spiritual home of Hungarian triathlon
since 1997 will host a World Cup on the weekend of 6-7 July, on their
traditional two-day, semi-final/final format.
The latest addition to the World Cup
calendar is another Chinese city, Weihai, that will return to host a Standard
distance race on 27 September.
Hungary will also welcome
participants of the first edition of the Para Cup in Tata, 60 km west from
Budapest, on the weekend of 13-14 July.
