Over the past months, the global
triathlon community has come together to produce the next four-year World
Triathlon Strategic Plan, designed to develop the sport globally in the most sustainable
and inclusive ways possible.
The roadmap was drawn up with the
consultation and voices of elite athletes and elite para triathletes,
age-groupers, World Triathlon’s Committees and Commissions, National Federation
members, Continental Confederations, staff, Executive Board members and key
external stakeholders.
With such a broad range of input, the
aim is for triathlon to continue to develop, innovate and include, positioning
our organization as a key factor on the triathlon market and providing more
opportunities within the sport to more people in more countries than ever
before. The strategic plan will also drive the organisation towards more
commercial goals within the market of the sport of triathlon.
“For the next four years, the
over-arching goal for World Triathlon is to lead the global Triathlon Community
in growing a more sustainable sport for all to participate in,” said World
Triathlon President Marisol Casado. “We want to build and highlight the
extraordinary in our people and our practices, all the while protecting the
environments on which our sport depends.”
“We will strive for excellence in our
events, both for those racing and the Local Organising Committees and host
cities, providing the support and leadership that will continue to make our
sport one of the fastest growing, most responsible and inclusive of all. We
will seek to innovate, as always using technology to enhance all areas of
triathlon, and we will govern with the fairness, equity and integrity that we
take great pride in. We couldn’t be more excited for what the next four years
hold for our sport.”
Central to the new Strategic Plan
will be the ongoing development of all member National Federations, providing
the guidance where needed, both directly and through the Continental
Confederations, to advance the sport and elevate governance all around the
world.
Collectively, the plans will help
triathlon to grow sustainably and responsibly towards the Paris 2024 and LA
2028 and explore opportunities to further expand its presence at future Olympic
and Paralympic Games.
