Get the diaries ready - the 2022 World Triathlon season is set to be stacked full of blue-carpet action and entertainment once again.
The Executive Board of World Triathlon has approved the first events of the 2022 season, with classic World Triathlon cities returning as hosts and some exciting new names added to the list. The new season of the World Triathlon Championship Series will finish with the Championship Finals in Abu Dhabi, with five stops added to next year’s calendar plus the two races in 2021. Eleven World Triathlon Cups are already planned and Andorra will return as host of the World Triathlon Winter Championships.
Unfortunately Bermuda does not appear on the first WTS events of the 2022 season.
The five events confirmed as part of the 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series - after Hamburg launched the new season in September and with Abu Dhabi hosting the last leg of the top tier event in November - start in familiar fashion: The best in the world will get the year underway once again over the Olympic distance in Yokohama in May, June will see them return to Leeds’ Roundhay Park for a new sprint-distance challenge, then it is on to Montreal for the second edition of the new fast and furious, two-day elimination format.
Hamburg (sprint distance) will again host in July, while the central Chinese city of Chengdu steps up to host an Olympic-distance World Triathlon Championship Series event for the first time in October.
2022 will see two World Triathlon Championships awarding the sport’s most prestigious prizes, with Abu Dhabi crowning the World Triathlon and Para Triathlon Champions, while the Montreal weekend will see the Sprint and Relay World titles awarded.
