Unfortunately also Barcelona will not have the European Cup test in 2022. After two consecutive years of international races, the Barcelona City Council has announced that the European Cup will not be held in 2022. The Triathlon European Cup that was going to be held next October in Barcelona will finally not be part of the continental circuit after the last decision communicated by the Barcelona City Council, and despite the fact that the date appeared on the calendar of the European Federation of triathlon. Therefore, after two years in a row in which Barcelona had two top-level international competitions, such as the 2020 World Cup, with the victory of Olympic Champion Kristian Blummenfelt, and the 2021 European Cup, the international calendar will not stop in Barcelona in 2022. After these two years of pandemic, in which the effort of the FETRI and the Barcelona City Council was highlighted so that the triathlon will continue to be held in the city, this season is being faced differently after the decision announced by the Barcelona City Council to not having the international test in the 2022 calendar. From the Spanish Triathlon Federation we face this situation with the hope of resuming the Barcelona project in the future, and fighting again for the dream of bringing a World Series to Barcelona and having an international competition of the highest level in the future. not very far.
