The ITU World Championship Series 2016 is a triathlon racing series with competitions over the Olympic distance and the sprint distance as well as a relay competition ( mixed relay ). It is held under the care of the international triathlon association ITU ( International Triathlon Union ). The winner of the series ranking will be honored as triathlon world champion.
organization
This world series has been held annually since 2009 under the supervision of the International Triathlon Union (ITU), and from 1989 to 2008 the world champions were determined in a single competition.
On the Olympic distance the competitions consist of 1.5 km swimming, 40 km cycling and 10 km running, on the sprint distance of 750 m swimming, 20 km cycling and 5 km running. In elite competitions, drafting (cycling in the slipstream) is generally permitted . In the case of the popular sports competitions organized in the framework program, however, there is a drafting ban, i. H. every athlete must keep a distance of at least 12 m from the athlete in front on the bike course.
In the 2016 season, eight races and the final in September were held in Mexico. Races were held in Leeds for the first time in 2016 and it replaces London . In 2016, the series had the second highest number of competitions since 2009. The only competition that is part of the series every year is the ITU World Triathlon Hamburg , where the world champions in mixed relay were honored for the fourth time in a row in 2016 were. In this format, the teams are made up of two women and two men, each member completing a super sprint of 250 m swimming, 6.6 km cycling and 1.6 km running one after the other. The format is part of the Youth Olympic Games and was included in the 2013 Summer Olympic Games program.
With the acquisition of the endurance division of Lagardère Sports and Entertainment by the WTC , a subsidiary of the Chinese Dalian Wanda Group , the majority of the competitions will now be organized by a single organizer for the first time in the history of the series. Already last year was awarded the ITU World Triathlon Gold Coast for the first time a competition of the series of the WTC, which includes the rights to the trademark Ironman holds and u. a. The organizer of the Ironman Hawaii is. Since the WTC also organizes the competitions in Hamburg, Abu Dhabi, Cape Town, Leeds and Stockholm with the takeover, six of the nine competitions in the series will be realized by a single organizer.
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:
- At the finals in Cozumel in September there are 1200 points for a win and in the other nine 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.
- 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.

Overall rating

The Spaniard Mario Mola won the 2016 World Championship with fifth place in the last race.
In the annual standings he was four points ahead of the Briton Jonathan Brownlee : While in the lead in the Grand Final in Mexico, only 400 meters from the finish, he suffered an attack of weakness. His brother Alistair caught him and “supported” him across the finish line. A protest brought in by the Spanish Triathlon Federation (FETRI, Federación Español de Triatlón) immediately after the race was rejected.
