World
Triathlon’s Executive Board has approved three changes to the World Cup
calendar for the second half of the 2024 season. The date of the World
Triathlon Cup Brasilia has been moved and it will now take place on 9-10
November. The event in Vina del Mar, Chile, will no longer be a World Cup but
instead become an Americas Triathlon Premium Cup, while the Tangier World Cup
has been cancelled.
Brasilia
is ready to welcome the World Cup circuit for the second consecutive year, but
the local elections in the Brazilian capital have led to the change of
schedule, with the race now taking place two weeks after the originally
announced date. The race will be contested over the Sprint format.
Unfortunately,
November’s World Cup scheduled in Vina del Mar, Chile, will no longer take
place. The LOC has managed to keep it in the calendar as an Americas Triathlon
Premium Cup on the same weekend, 2-3 November.
Another
race that has been cancelled is the Tangier World Cup. Despite the successful
debut of the event on the World Triathlon Cup calendar last year, the
organisers have had to cancel what would have been the second edition,
initially planned for 12-13 October.
World
Triathlon wants to thank all the organisers and affected National Federations
for their endless efforts to support the events, and will work with all of them
to try to have them back in the calendar in 2025.
The
remaining World Cup calendar for 2024 now looks like this:
8
September - Karlovy Vary (CZE) – Standard
14
September - Valencia (ESP) – Sprint
5-6
October - Rome (ITA) – Sprint
26
October - Tongyeong (KOR) - Standard
9-10
November - Brasilia (BRA) – Sprint
9-10
November - Miyazaki (JPN) – Sprint
