With the aim set on the Paris 2024
Olympic Games and beyond, World Triathlon is pleased to announce that
applications for the 2024 Team World Triathlon are now open, welcoming new team
members.
The elite athlete development
program, supporting Olympic Qualification, has been in operation since 2006.
Previous editions have provided assistance to notable athletes such as Olympic
Champion Flora Duffy and London Olympics silver medallist Lisa Norden, just to
name a few. Thirty athletes have been members of Team World Triathlon,
qualifying for one or more Olympic Games over the years.
The primary objective of the project
is to provide support, resources, and expertise to athletes from
emerging/developing National Federations (NF Group* 2, 3B, 3A) with the
potential to compete at the World Triathlon Cup level and qualify for the Paris
Olympic Games. Being only some months away from the end of the Paris Olympic
Qualification Period (27 May 2024), the project will focus on the potential
Olympic athletes for Paris 2024 until the end of May 2024.

events have been named as the Team World Triathlon events until the Olympic
Qualification cut-off date (27 May 2024). These include Chengdu (China) on
April 29, and Samarkand (Uzbekistan) on May 18.
In order to be eligible, athletes

All athletes must be registered and
