organization

In 2011 the best athletes in the world competed against each other in six different races (Sydney, Yokohama, Madrid, Kitzbühel, Hamburg, London) and the final in Beijing to finally choose the world champion.

These races were held at the Olympic distance:

• 1.5 km swimming,
• 40 km cycling and
• 10 km run.

For ambitious recreational athletes, races over the sprint distance were organized (0.5 km swimming, 22 km cycling and 5 km running).

The total of seven venues in 2011 included three Olympic cities: Sydney, London and Beijing.

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

In the first three races of the series, the Brownlee brothers stood out as did the Canadian Paula Findlay , who won the first races.

In 2011 there were six races over the Olympic distance for men and women.
In the overall ranking of the 2011 season, the world championship title went to the two British athletes Helen Jenkins and Alistair Brownlee on September 10th .
