    At Multisport and Triathlon World Championships, AG race briefings are only for Team Managers. But a video race briefing will be available on the facebook page of the event and on the event website from the beginning of the race week. Also, Q&A sessions with Technical Officials will be organized at the venue during certain times for all athletes to ask their questions. We have some cases where an AG Athletes` Briefing is conducted (for example for Long Distance WCH).
