World Triathlon and Europe Triathlon are pleased to announce the International Technical Officials that will officiate at the upcoming 2023 Krakow-Małopolska European Games. There will be 22 National Federations represented, and for the first time ever, 50% of the Officials selected are female, going one step further on the commitment with gender balance within the organization.
All countries represented among the selected Technical Officials submitted the application before the deadline and are not represented with the same nominated Technical Official in Paris 2024 Olympic or Paralympic Games. The team will be a mix of Technical Officials with experience in the previous Games, and some others without any former experience on such level of competitions, which shows the growth of competent officials in the last years.
Europe Triathlon previously announced that Howard Vine (GBR) has been named as the Technical Delegate and Esther Sanchez (ESP) will be the assistant Technical Delegate for Krakow 2023.
The selection of the National Technical Officials from Poland will follow in due course, in accordance with the Technical Officials Appointment Rules.
The Krakow-Małopolska 2023 European Games will host three medal events for Triathlon: Individual Men & Women and the Mixed Relay. Triathlon has been included on the program of the European Games for the second time, after the first edition in Baku 2015.
