Europe Triathlon

This year, for the first time, Wels joins the ranks of top-class international junior competitions after Vienna and Kitzbühel with a Junior European Cup. Dr Andreas Rabl Mayor of Wels, says “We are very proud that Europe‘s triathlon elite is coming to our city. The organisation at this special time will certainly be a challenge, but we are confident and can draw on many years of experience in hosting major sporting events. Sport with its social component is an essential building block of our society. We are proud to have been awarded the Junior European Cup by the European Triathlon Federation. This shows once again that Wels not only offers the right setting for mass sports, but also for top-class sports. Numerous sporting events have already taken place in Wels, from the Wels Half Marathon to the Cycling Tour of Austria and the inner-city cycling criterium to the Wels Teamplayer Cross Run or the Business Run. Even the tennis Davis Cup has already been held in Wels. Just as top athletes become ambassadors for their clubs, sporting events are figureheads for the host city. With the Junior European Cup, we have once again gained a new figurehead for our city. Congratulations!
I would like to thank all the organisers, sponsors, clubs and volunteers who helped with their commitment to make this event unforgettable and to continue Wels‘ good reputation as a sports city. I keep my fingers crossed for all athletes on their way into the future of top-class sport and wish them every success. Toi, toi, toi!”
