Europe Triathlon

Prior to the XXXIII World Triathlon Congress that took place on 29 November 2020, Europe Triathlon hosted their annual Continental Confederation Meeting. This meeting took place completely virtual and was attended by approximately 39 National federations.

Below is a short recap from the Europe Triathlon President, Renato Bertrandi. “It is over our first Virtual Elective Congress.

It was very encouraging to see so many European NFs at our CCs meeting and then attending the Congress and the elections.

Now World Triathlon has a new elected Board and I want to congratulate the ones that have been elected, especially the Europeans; Marisol first that will lead the Board for the next term, Ian Howard that has been elected to the Vice President position and Bernard as a “new entry” as Board Member. We have also not to forget the ones from Europe that missed that opportunity; Mads that was running for President and Ria that will leave the seat, in the World Triathlon Board, that she served for many years.

Thank you for showing your commitment to help our Sport to grow at International level. At the Committee level, overall, Europe could have expected more success.

The outcome is that Europe has 18 elected, America 16, Asia 12, Africa 7, Oceania 5. It is great that all Continents are represented, but we could have expected some more for our Continent.

Anyhow the elected ones are really great and I am sure that will provide professional and operative support to the Committees. Congratulations !

I feel really sorry for the ones that could not make it: I count on your enthusiasm for the many activities that will be needed in Europe.

These Elections might be a good lesson learnt for the future.

I will come back to you with some ideas in order to be better prepared for the future.”
