organization

Eight races were held in the 2012 season:

Rating

For the annual ranking of the world championship, in addition to the nine races of the world series, the other races of the ITU World Cup are also taken into account:

• The five best results of the world series, the last final race and a maximum of two World Cup races are taken into account for the annual ranking.
• At the finals in Auckland in October there are 1200 points for a win and in the other eight races of the world series there are 800 points for a win.
• In a normal ITU World Cup, however, there are only 300 points. Every further placement in these races receives a fixed number of points.

qualification

Each national umbrella association can nominate up to six male and female athletes for each competition in the series, the host association up to eight. The notification must be made to the ITU at least 33 days before the competition. Based on the placement of the registered athletes on the ITU Points List, the ITU compiles the starting fields of 60 male and 60 female athletes. In addition, five invitations can be issued. In contrast to the World Championship Ranking, the ITU Points List also includes other competitions such as B. U23 world championships, continental championships and cup events and student world championships.

The races in Yokohama, originally scheduled for May 14 and 15, 2011, have been postponed indefinitely by the ITU for fear of excessive radiation after the nuclear accident in Fukushima in March. The race was then held on September 18 and 19, 2011 and was scheduled after the 2011 “Grand Final” in Beijing. The results are now to be taken into account in the evaluation for the 2012 racing series.

Steffen Justus won the race in Sydney in April - after Jan Frodeno (2009, 2010) the second German winner since the series was launched three years ago.
