World Triathlon is proud to announce
the opening of applications for the 2023 Athlete Scholarship Programme, meant
to identify and provide support, resources, and expertise to those athletes
from developing/emerging National Federations (NF Groups*: 2, 3B, 3A) with the
greatest needs to help them compete at Continental and World level over the
second year of the Olympic Qualification Period (starting 27 May 2023) and help
their preparation and qualification for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games
and beyond.
(*Note: for NF Groups, please visit
National Federation Survey ).

Athletes selected for the World
Triathlon Athlete Scholarship Programme will be carefully ‘placed’ in a
programme commensurate with their specific needs in the interest of their
progressive development to an elite level. Placements will vary in duration and
form depending on the specific outline of the programme developed by the NF in
conjunction with World Triathlon Development deemed to be conducive to the
athlete’s development needs.
The target group will be athletes
from developing National Federations (NF Groups: 2, 3B, 3A) who have already
shown competence at a Continental and World level and are looking to make the
step up to top-level training and racing but need support to do so. These
athletes should be seen as Olympic prospects (Paris 2024 & Los Angeles
2028) by their National Federations. The athletes will be drawn primarily from
U23 and elite ranks.
Qualification Criteria
In order to be eligible, Athletes
must be registered and in good standing with their National Federations, and
need to have shown the ability to race at a high standard in Continental and
World Triathlon Cup-level competitions. The athletes nominated should be
committed to competing in the long term and have the Olympic Games as an
ultimate objective.
World Triathlon Development will
consider the following criteria in the selection process:
- Top 5 placing at Continental
Championship in Elite (U23) in the past two years among the developing/emerging
NFs (NF Groups: 2, 3B, 3A). OR “Finishing at least in the first ⅔ of two Continental Cup (CC) events in 2022/2023”
- Top 200 on the World Triathlon
Ranking
- Must be from an emerging/developing
National Federation (NF Groups: 2, 3B, 3A).
All applications will be considered
in conjunction with a strong endorsement from the Athlete’s National
Federation.

using the online application form no later than Friday, 16 June 2023.

Triathlon Development will coordinate the plans with the successful athletes
and their NFs.
