the 2022 European Sport Championships have been confirmed and will take place in Munich. The Event will feature the élite Olympic Distance, the Mixed Relay Championships and the Age Group Sprint Distance Championships. The race will provide increased points, at the level of WTS points to the élite athletes.
It has been discussed the issue on whether to have a face-to-face meeting for the “Presidents’ Conference” in 2021. As a primary condition it has been considered that at least 80% of the National Federations have to be able to attend. On the contrary, a virtual conference will be organised. Anyhow, a final decision is to be expected at a later stage as soon as we have more clarity on National Covid restrictions.
