The 2012 ITU World Triathlon Series was a series of eight World Championship Triathlon events that culminated in a Grand Final held in Auckland, New Zealand in October 2012. The series was organized under the auspices of the world governing body of triathlon, the International Triathlon Union (ITU). [1]

Contents

The World Triathlon Series (WTS) visited Sydney, San Diego, Madrid, Kitzbühel, Hamburg, London, Stockholm, and Auckland. The series took place during the 2012 Summer Olympic year, with many countries using the results of select series races to determine which athletes would qualify to represent their nation in triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics. [1]

The series included two sprint-distance races and six Olympic-distance races. The stop in Stockholm also served as the location for the 2012 ITU Team Triathlon World Championships. The Grand Final in Auckland featured the World Championships for the Under-23, Junior, and Paratriathlon divisions, with each division’s champion determined by a single race. Elite-level competitors were crowned champions in Auckland based on the final WTS point standings. [2] [3]

Calendar

The 2012 series visited eight cities around the world. [4]
