It was back on September 11th that the Executive Board of ITU met to debate and decide on several important issues, including the 2019 competition calendar, the new services for National Federations or the cities that will host the 2021 and 2022 Grand Final.
After reviewing the bids of the different cities interested on hosting our mayor events, the ITU Executive Board decided to award the 2021 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final to Bermuda.
