2024 World Triathlon Championship Finals Torremolinos-Andalucia – Elite & 2024 World Triathlon Individual Event Selection Policy
An amendment has been made to criteria for eligibility for selection to the 2024 World Triathlon Championship Finals and Series events.
- Subject to available quota spots, eligible athletes are selected in priority order having met one of Priority Criteria 1-6.
- Results achieved at World Triathlon Championship Series or Finals Events must have a Depth of Field (DOF) of 12 or lower. Results achieved at World Triathlon Cup Events must have a DOF of 50 or lower.
2024 National Development Series and Junior/U23 National Championships
Details for the 2024 National Development Series are outlined in the links below.
Within this document, criteria for eligibility for Junior/U23 National Championships is as follows:
- Must have a minimum of 2 scores (1 Provincial Championship, 1 Canadian Regional Championship)
- Must have a minimum series points score of 450 (top 15 at provincials**, top 30 at regionals)
- A maximum of 3 scores will be counted (1 Provincial championship, 2 Regional Championships)
* Athletes with a World Ranking under 150 may bypass the entry criteria to race in Junior/U23 National Championships. If an athlete gains entry to Nationals in this manner, they will not be given a National Development Series Ranking. This is to allow access to National Championships to Junior/U23 athletes racing consistently beyond the scope of the National Series.
** If a Provincial Championship has a quality of field points reduction applied because there are less than 15 athletes competing, the minimum placement to hit the required Series points score of 450 with the minimum of 2 scores is a top 11 (see Appendix A).
To be eligible for 2024 World Triathlon Sprint Championships – Junior selection, athletes must race the 2024 Triathlon Canada Junior National Championships.
2024 Triathlon Canada Ratified Swim and Run Times Policy
- To be eligible for 2024 World Triathlon Sprint Championships – Junior selection, athletes must submit a 750m swim time and a 3000m run time as per Triathlon Canada’s 2024 Ratified Times Policy by September 9th 2024.
