World Triathlon Executive Board met virtually to continue working on the preparations for the 2022 Season, and also approved the new members for the Sustainability Commission.

The new event added to the 2022 calendar is the 2022 World Triathlon Powerman Long Distance Duathlon Championships, which will take place in Zofingen (Switzerland) on the weekend of September 3-4, 2022. The classic event on the World Triathlon calendar will once again be disputed over the 10 km Run/150 km Cycling / 30 km Running distances, with athletes from all over the world vying for the world crowns. 

Due to the current situation with the COVID pandemic and travel restrictions, the Board approved the decision of Triathlon Japan of the cancellation of the World Triathlon Cup Miyazaki planned for March 2022.

More events will be added to the 2022 season calendar in the upcoming weeks.

The Executive Board also approved the new members of the Sustainability Commission:
- Julie Duffus, IOC Sustainability Manager

World Triathlon would like to thank all the candidates and National Federations that submitted their candidatures for being included in the Commission, the candidatures were all overwhelming, and it was really a hard decision to select the ones that will work from now on on the Commission.
