COVID-19 Response. Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) pays athletes $2,500,000, inaugural Collins Cup moves to 2021

The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced its response to COVID-19 by increasing its Year-End Annual Bonus Programme from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and paying it all immediately based on the PTO World Rankings. The $500,000 increase would go to men and women athletes ranked 21-50, who previously would have been paid $5,000 each in a year-end bonus, but will now see that amount raised to $8,000, and men and women athletes ranked 51-100, who previously would have been paid $2,000 each in a year-end bonus, but will now see that amount raised to $5,000. Athletes will be paid based on their PTO World Ranking as of January 1 or March 15, whichever is higher.

During this period that the race schedule is disrupted, the top ten PTO World Ranked men and women athletes have committed to work together with the PTO to engage in appearances and online exhibitions and any revenue from these will be distributed to athletes ranked 20-100.

Rachel Joyce, Co-President of the PTO, commented, “The world finds itself in a difficult and almost unprecedented time. We appreciate that many people are struggling both physically and economically. For our athletes, like many others, the future is filled with uncertainty. With many races cancelled, the ability of our athletes to be able to race in the near future has been greatly reduced. The PTO has been looking for a way to support our athletes in this time of instability. We appreciate that many race operators and race directors are struggling with financial constraints and the PTO is fortunate to be in a position to be able to provide some support to our athletes. We hope that our response in paying athletes a total of $2,500,000 today will help them manage the immediate disruption they are experiencing. We are now looking to work with sponsors, governing bodies, race organisers and other groups in exploring additional opportunities to help alleviate the hardships that COVID-19 is causing to the triathlon community.”

Charles Adamo, Chairman of the PTO, stated that, “The actions taken by the PTO today are indicative of the way our athletes are viewed as valuable partners. Once events were being cancelled, the Crankstart Investments team immediately contacted us and wanted to find the best way to provide short-term support to the athletes. We will continue to monitor the ongoing impact and hope to be able to adopt additional programmes where athletes are not only supported, but also are able to provide support to others who may be struggling in this current environment. As an organisation, the PTO and its professional athletes will look to work with governing bodies, race directors, race organisers and our entire triathlon community to see how we are able to help.”

The PTO also has also announced that under the current circumstances, The Collins Cup, scheduled for May 30, will need to be postponed and will be rescheduled for 2021 at the x-bionic-sphere®. For THE CHAMPIONSHIP, scheduled for May 31, Challenge Family and the x-bionic-sphere are working closely with the local authorities to determine if the event should and can be rescheduled for a later 2020 date. Sam Renouf, CEO of the PTO, commented that, “Given the complex and innovative broadcast production we were going to deliver for The Collins Cup, it is just impossible to logistically have all the worldwide vendors and suppliers gearing-up in this uncertain environment and be able to hold The Collins Cup this year.”

Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) Announces $2M Annual Bonus Programme, with Collins Cup whopping $4M purse

The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced that it has adopted a $2,000,000 Annual Bonus Programme pursuant to which athletes will be paid based on their PTO World Rankings at the end of 2020. The bonus amounts range from $100,000 for the PTO World No. 1 male and female athletes, to $10,000 for the PTO World No. 20 male and female athletes. In addition, male and female athletes ranked at the end of the year between 21-50 shall each be paid $5,000 and those ranked between 51-100 shall be paid $2,000.

Rachel Joyce, Co-President of the PTO commented, “We are very pleased to be able to adopt an annual bonus programme that rewards athletes for outstanding performances throughout the year. The triathlon season is a long one and just because an athlete might have an off race in a large event, doesn’t mean that their year’s performance should go unrewarded.”

The PTO World Rankings is a first-of-its-kind ranking technology to measure the greatest non-drafting professional triathletes. It is a worldwide benchmark of consistent excellence in triathlon. In addition to being the basis for the PTO Annual Bonus Programme, it is used to determine automatic qualification spots for The Collins Cup.

Tim O’Donnell, Co-President of the PTO, stated, “The adoption of the PTO Annual Bonus Plan, together with the $2,000,000 payments at The Collins Cup, means that so far in 2020 the PTO will be paying 200 professional triathletes $4,000,000. We believe that this demonstrates the value and benefits of professionals being unified in our own organization and we hope that this is just the beginning of the many ways the PTO can bring not only a voice but meaningful contributions to our sport.”



Editor‘s note:

Together with the $2,000,000 prize purse from inaugural Collins Cup a new dimension in sport of triathlon is opened with contributions from PTO‘s support network around Billionaire Mike Moritz, who likely want to build a platform from the NBA, NFL, NHL league’s blueprint in the U.S. with various shareholders from different group of interests.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation today released the following letter sent to the Board of Directors of Wanda Sports Group Company Limited on 3rd February 2020 advising the Board that the PTO has closed on its financial partnership with Crankstart Investments and renewing the PTO’s proposal to enter into discussions to acquire the Ironman® business.

Dear Members of the Board:

We are writing on behalf of the Professional Triathletes Organisation (the “PTO”) to advise you that we have closed on our partnership financing with Crankstart Investments. We again want to put forth our proposal to enter into discussions for the acquisition by the PTO of all of the assets of the Wanda Sports Group Company Limited (“WSG”) related to its worldwide triathlon and mass participation business (the “WTC Business”).

The PTO is prepared to consider an all-cash transaction or one in which the existing shareholders of WSG are able to participate in the growth of the WTC Business that the PTO is uniquely positioned to deliver. We strongly believe that it is only with the assistance of the PTO and its professional athletes that the WTC Business has the ability to stabilise and grow, and that without our cooperation the WTC Business would deteriorate.  We are happy to work with any other financially stable group who may be interested in acquiring the WTC Business, reducing its debt load and unleashing the value only the PTO and its professional athletes can deliver.

The PTO and North Point Advisors, our financial advisors, are prepared to begin discussions forthwith with your senior management and your financial advisors and to sign a customary confidentiality agreement in order to commence certain confirmatory due diligence.  In light of the significance of this proposal to your shareholders and the triathlon community, as well as the potential for selective disclosures, we will publicly release the text of this letter tomorrow morning.

We believe this proposal represents a unique opportunity to realise significant value for WSG shareholders and employees, and that the PTO can uniquely provide a healthy and growing environment for the WTC Business.

We hope that you and your Board share our enthusiasm and, consistent with applicable fiduciary duties, we look forward to a prompt and favourable reply.



Respectfully yours,

Professional Triathletes Organisation Announces Financial Partner And $2,000,000 Collins Cup

The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced that it has partnered with Crankstart Investments, an investment vehicle for Michael Moritz, in establishing a platform for professional triathletes to begin to realise their goal of athlete self-determination. As a result of this partnership, the PTO is also announcing that The Collins Cup will be held from 29-30th May 2020 at the x-bionic® sphere, in Samorin, Slovakia, and there will be over $2,000,000 in prize money for the event.

Rachel Joyce, Co-President of the PTO, commented “This day has been long in coming and we are grateful to the great professional triathletes who have, through all their blood and sweat over many years, paved the way for this opportunity to materialise. The Collins Cup will be a true celebration of both the history and the future of the sport we love so much, and we look forward to hosting the event and engaging the entire triathlon community.”

Charles Adamo, Chairman of the PTO, stated that “The PTO has been working for a number of years to create an environment and structure where professional triathletes have a meaningful voice in the way the sport is operated and can contribute to its growth for the benefit of the entire triathlon community. We are very pleased to have teamed up with Crankstart Investments and Michael Moritz, who share our vision in the potential of the sport and the best means by which to see it grow and thrive.”

Under its partnership, the PTO and Crankstart Investments share equally in all profits generated by operations. Michael Moritz, Chairman of Crankstart Investments, commented “The spread of the internet, the rise in the number of media outlets thirsty for top-notch sporting content, combined with the latest production techniques now make it possible to bring to international audiences the extraordinary accomplishments of today’s highest performing athletes – the top forty male and female triathletes in the world. A major part of the attraction of the PTO is that, unlike every other sport, men and women compete for equal prize money and the athletes are co-owners of the business. This means that all participants will share, on an equal footing, in the PTO’s collective success – a recipe that is a mainstay of the Silicon Valley investment model.”

Tim O’Donnell, Co-President of the PTO, commented “We are very pleased to be able to provide professional triathletes with the platform to put on display their tremendous athletic performances and make a difference in our sport. We are grateful for the confidence that Crankstart Investments and Michael Moritz have placed in us, and we appreciate that with this confidence comes great responsibility. As co-owners in this partnership, the PTO and its professional members are committed to not only making it a success, but also to being a contributor to the growth of the sport and the wider triathlon community. While arranging the investment, we were working behind the scenes and over 100 professional triathletes have become members of the PTO, including all of the top 35 men and top 35 women in the PTO World Rankings. Now that we have been able to make this announcement, we can invite all licenced professionals to become PTO Members. There are no costs or membership fees involved and any professional can find out more information by e-mailing us at membership[AT]protriathletes.org.”

Professional Triathletes Organisation Approaches Wanda Sports Board Proposing to Enter Into Discussions to Acquire IRONMAN® Business

The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) today released the following letter sent to the Board of Directors of Wanda Sports Group Company Limited on 20th September 2019 proposing to enter into discussions to acquire its IRONMAN® business. One of their main goals is to get a fair share of revenues Ironman generates for all professional triathletes, similar to the models the big sports in the doemestic USA have implemented in the past.

Dear Members of the Board:

We are writing on behalf of the Professional Triathletes Organisation (the “PTO”) to make a proposal to enter into discussions for the acquisition by the PTO of all of the assets of the Wanda Sports Group Company Limited (“WSG”) related to its worldwide triathlon and mass participation business (the “WTC Triathlon-MP Business”).

The PTO is prepared to consider an all-cash transaction or one in which the existing shareholders of WSG are able to participate in the growth of the WTC Triathlon-MP Business that the PTO is uniquely positioned to deliver. Professional triathletes, age groupers and the triathlon community have for years watched the decline of our sport with dismay as the dedicated executives and passionate employees of the WTC Triathlon-MP Business have been hampered by an excessive debt load and pressures to deliver unrealistic short-term results to financial investors. There are reasons why world class professional sports like the NFL and MLB have debt limits imposed on ownership entities as excessive debt levels limit needed investment and often cause exploitive customer pricing and a decline in standards that sadly have been present, through no fault of the hard-working operating management, in the WTC Triathlon-MP  Business for years.  We believe the market has recognised this reality as the results of the WSG IPO have proved to be well below expectations.

We have appointed North Point Advisors as our financial advisor, and they have reviewed the public information filed in the WSG F-1 Registration Statement and subsequent 6-K filings. The PTO and North Point Advisors are prepared to begin discussions forthwith with your senior management and your financial advisors and sign any NDA related agreement required in order to commence certain confirmatory due diligence.  In light of the significance of this proposal to your shareholders and the triathlon community, as well as the potential for selective disclosures, we will publicly release the text of this letter Monday morning.

We believe this proposal represents an opportunity to realise significant value for WSG shareholders and employees, and that the PTO can uniquely provide a healthy and growing environment for the WTC Triathlon-MP Business.

We hope that you and your Board share our enthusiasm, and we look forward to a prompt and favourable reply.

IRONMAN, a Wanda Sports Holdings Company, is pleased to announce a multi-year partnership extension with Facebook for live and fully produced IRONMAN race coverage. In response to an exceptional fan response in 2018 (IRONMAN content on the IRONMAN Now Facebook Page drew 4.5 million engagements), the agreement calls for Facebook Watch to be the exclusive digital home of 17 live events in 2019 and increasing to 19 events in 2020, with a third-year option for 22 events in 2021. This includes full live coverage of the IRONMAN World Championship and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, as well as VOD recaps of every event broadcast on Facebook Watch. In the coming weeks, IRONMAN will announce the 2019 Facebook Watch schedule of IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events that will be featured. All coverage will be available globally on Facebook Watch via the IRONMAN Now Facebook Page.

"Participatory sports are a great fit for Facebook Watch because they're highly communal with established and engaged fanbases on our platform," said Devi Mahadevia, Facebook North America Sports Programming Lead. "IRONMAN is a perfect example, so we're thrilled to build on the success of our 2018 partnership by teaming again to bring fans around the world full-length coverage of the competition's top events."

In just the first year of the Facebook partnership in 2018, IRONMAN showcased a large and engaged audience with more than 3.5 million people watching at least one minute of an IRONMAN live broadcast, while totaling 4.5 million engagements through all content posted on the IRONMAN Now Facebook Page. The engagement performance ranked among the top sports organizations programing on Facebook in 2018.

The extended agreement with Facebook provides an opportunity to accelerate the global growth of triathlon while also raising the profiles of professional triathletes. Widely known as the pinnacle of all endurance sports, the IRONMAN World Championship captured the attention of fans on Facebook Watch through more than 20 hours of comprehensive live coverage, including everything from the early morning body marking to the final hour finish line celebration.

"The partnership with Facebook has given us the unique ability to showcase our sport to a global audience while taking them inside the inner workings of race day," said Matthieu van Veen, Chief Revenue Officer of IRONMAN. "With events on every continent and in more than 50 countries, we continuously strive to provide our athletes, fans and sponsors with content and platforms to connect. Facebook Watch provides the most innovative tools to allow our community to interact and engage throughout the 10 hours of live coverage for each of the events. The numbers from our Facebook Watch programing in 2018 are astounding and illustrate the deep interest and reach of our world class events. We look forward to our continued work with Facebook in bringing a truly global schedule of live event coverage to our broadening community."

IRONMAN will produce its live coverage for a connected audience, incorporating unique viewer interaction through Facebook Watch Parties, real-time polls, fan discussion, and user generated content from spectators along the course.

The fully produced live event coverage will be hosted by past champions of IRONMAN events, including Dede Griesbauer, Rachel Joyce, Matt Lieto, and Michael Lovato, as well as IRONMAN World Champions and Hall of Famers Paula Newby Fraser and Greg Welch.

Live race coverage as well as a range of on-demand programing will be available globally via the IRONMAN Now Facebook Page.

2015 IRONMAN race prediction: El Niño could impact the race and favourbigger athletes

As every year since 1998 a brief and crisp outlook and guess on the 2015 IRONMAN World Championship race, coming up 10th of October 2015 is available on 3athlon. The global weather phenomen El Niño is already having an impact on the climate in Hawaii. A hot and humid summer was followed by a lot of rain on the Big Island - the lava is green like never seen before the last decade. Race day is expected to be a bit "cooler", cloudy, less humid with solid wind. A setup for strong athletes like defending champion Sebastian Kienle, runner-up Daniela Ryf and "bigger" athletes like Andy Potts, Jan Frodeno or Caroline Steffen.

So, who is gonna win, based on last years Kona performance and overall progress the last 12 months? Putting  controversial race marshall judging or mysterious technical issues right in or out of T1 aside all eyes are for sure on Mirinda Carfrae and Daniela Ryf as well as Sebastian Kienle and Jan Frodeno. These Aussi-Swiss and German-German Doubles are spiced up with last year's top 3 Ben Hofmann and Rachel Joyce. We'll see - again - a fast female wire-to-wire like race. On the men's side, spectators could miss all that tactic in a big group on the bike due the fact of some serious swim-bike- (runners) in the mix. If the wind is there, they might crush the Hawi train pretty early already around Kawaihae.

Wettkönige und Champions: Welche Athletinnen und Athleten gewinnen Ironman Hawaii, Ironman Frankurt, Challenge Roth und die Langdistanz in Motola?

Brett Sutton ist unzweifelhaft im Blick auf die Lebensleistung und Erfolge seiner Athleten der erfolgreichste Trainer im Triathlonsport über alle Distanzen und mit dem Schwerpunkt auf weibliche Athletinnen. Neben der Kenntnis, welche Trainingseinheiten tatsächlich wirken, muss ihm ein überdurchschnittliches Maß an Einfühlungsvermögen und eine hohe Aufnahmefähigkeiten beim Lesen der Körpersprache der anvertrauten Athletinnen und Athleten attestiert werden. Helfen mag beim noch immer kontrovers wahrgenommenen Australier dabei seine Erfahrung als Pferdetrainer. Aus dieser Zeit mag auch eine kleine Leidenschaft für Sportwetten stammen. Olympiasiegerin Nicola Spirig berichtete von einer Anekdote rund um ihr Goldrennen bei den Olympischen Spielen von London 2012. Sutton hatte alle drei Triathletinnen korrekt auf dem Podium benannt. Dies war bei dem anwesenden Feld sehr beachtenswert.

Trotz leichter Knieverletzung und seiner Größe gilt Jan Frodeno bereits im 2. Jahr auf der Langstrecke in 2015 und 2016 als absoluter Topfavorit für den WM-Titel auf Hawaii und 2015 für den EM-Titel in Frankfurt am Main. Photo: David Ramos/Getty Images for IRONMAN

Triathlon bietet sich seit jeher für alle Aktiven und Fans an, auf das Podium zu setzen. Im deutschsprachigen Raum kann z.B. auf österreichische Wettanbieter für Sportwetten zurückgegriffen werden. 3athlon.org und dieses Blog unter Dnf-is-no-option.com tippen schon seit über 10 Jahren öffentlich 1-2 Tage vor dem Startschuss die Top 10 oder das Podium der Saisonhighlights. Grund genug für einen kleinen ersten Ausblick auf die absoluten Top-Events auf den Langstrecken in diesem Jahr:

ITU WM Langdistanz in Motola

Runde EUR 90.000 Preisgeld wird vom Veranstaler bei der offiziellen Weltmeisterschaft im Triathlon über die Langstrecke im schwedischen Motola ausgelobt. Derzeit warten wir noch auf die Liste der gemeldeten Elite-Athleten vom Veranstalter.

Ironman WM Hawaii

Bei der Mutter aller Triathlon-Schlachten gilt auch weiterhin zwei Regeln:
1. Es ist sehr schwer den Titel im Folgejahr zu wiederholen.
2. Einem World Champion ist bewusst, welcher Aufwand betrieben werden muss, um zu gewinnen.

Zu den absoluten Top-Favoritinnen und Favoriten sind folgende Profis zu zählen. Trotz leichtem Handicap durch ein sturzbedingtes, leicht lädierts Knie Jan Frodeno, Daniela Ryf, Sebastian Kienle, Melinda Carfae, Ben Hoffmann und Rachel Joyce. Nils Frommhold führt das Feld der Verfolger an. 

Ironman EM Frankfurt am Main

Die Laufstrecke in Frankfurt mit den Kopfsteinpflasterpassagen und den eckligen kleinen Steigungen an den Brücken wird oft unterschätzt. Ebenfalls unterschätzt werd der Druck und die mentalen Anforderungen, den ein Rennen in einer Metropolregion einfordert. Rookies und Landeier haben es in Frankfurt daher immer etwas schwerer. Die Top-Favoriten: Jan Frodeno, Daniela Ryf und Sebastian Kienle.

Challenge Roth

Unter dem Motto "Race the legend" steht die diesjährige Ausgabe des Challenges. Neben erstklassigen Stimmungsnesten punktet das Rennen in Roth mit einem extrem schnellen Schwimm- und Radkurs und wahrscheinlich trotz leichter Kursänderung auch sehr schnellem Marathon. Topfavoriten sind Andrew Starykowicz, Yvonne van Vlerken, Timo Bracht, Nils Frommhold, Svenja Bazlen, Dirk Bockel und Daniela Sämmler.

Challenge Roth 2014: Pressekonferenz als Auftakt zu „30 Jahre Triathlon in Roth“

Bei der internationalen Pressekonferenz, traditionell der Auftakt zum DATEV Challenge Roth, gaben sich die zehn Profis, die stellvertretend für die über 5000 am Sonntag startenden Athleten in der Kulturfabrik Platz nahmen, ausgesprochen entspannt. "Klar will ich gewinnen", sagte zum Beispiel Pete Jacobs, der Hawaii-Sieger des Jahres 2012. "Aber das wollen die anderen auch."
Das Podium der Profi-Triathleten kann sich zum Jubiläum sehen lassen. Ebenfalls vielversprechend, fast schon zu warm, die Wetterprognose für den Renntag. Photo: TEAMChallenge - Christoph Raithel 


Die anderen, das sind bei den Männern Vorjahressieger Dirk Bockel (Luxemburg), der Vorjahreszweite und Roth-Sieger von 2012, James Cunnama (Südafrika), der aktuelle Hawaii-Zweite Luke McKenzie (Australien) und der große Pechvogel des vergangenen Jahres, Timo Bracht (Deutschland). Alle sind in Bestform, für Timo Bracht ist Roth sogar das wichtigste Rennen des Jahres. "Das ist heuer mein Hawaii." Er kündigte vor fast 200 Journalisten aus aller Welt zwar keinen Sieg, aber doch Großtaten an. Schnelles Schwimmen, schnelles Radfahren, "und wenn es dann wie vorhergesagt ab Mittag etwas zuziehen sollte, ist beim Marathon noch eine Zeit von 2:40 Stunden drin".

Damit wäre der Eberbacher vermutlich nur schwer zu schlagen, zumindest wenn ihm nicht wieder ein solches Malheur wie im Vorjahr passiert, als ihm ein Raddefekt rund 15 Minuten gekostet hatte. Das ist abgehakt. "Ich habe in vielen Rennen schon das Glück auf meiner Seite gehabt. Vergangenes Jahr hat es mich halt erwischt."

Acht Siege auf der Triathlon-Langdistanz hat der 38-Jährige, der zwei Tage nach dem Rennen Geburtstag feiert, schon errungen. Da hat die Konkurrenz noch etwas aufzuholen. Die will sich aber nicht unbedingt in die Favoritenrolle drängen lassen. "Ich habe im Vorjahr gezeigt, dass ich die großen Rennen gewinnen kann", sagte Titelverteidiger Dirk Bockel. Insofern stehe er nicht unter Druck. Obwohl er sich glänzend in Form fühlt: "Ich bin jetzt 37. Aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich jedes jahr noch stärker werde."

Verglichen mit Dirk Bockel gehört Pete Jacobs fast noch zu den "jungen Wilden" mit seinen 32 Jahren. Doch der Australier ist schon eine gefühlte Ewigkeit in der Szene dabei, hat in Roth schon einen zweiten und drei dritte Plätze stehen. Nach fünf Jahren kehrt der Hawaii-Sieger des Jahres 2012 nun zu dem Rennen zurück, in dem sein Stern aufging.

Im Gegensatz zu seinem Landsmann Luke McKenzie hat Jacobs einen entscheidenden Vorteil. Er kennt die Strecken. Doch Shooting-Star McKenzie war in den vergangenen Tagen viel auf der Radrunde unterwegs, um sich die entscheidenden Punkte einzuprägen. Denn am Sonntag gilt für den Mann, der bald Vater wird: Vollgas geben.



Ironman Weltmeisterin Mirinda Carfrae gehört neben zahlreicher anderen Prominenz von der Langdistanz zu den Favoritinnen auf den Titel. Photo: TEAMChallenge - Christoph Raithel

Ist das Feld der Männer schon hochklassig besetzt, ist bei den Frauen fast alles am Start, was Rang und Namen hat. Vier der Top-Fünf von Hawaii 2013 duellieren sich am Sonntag, darunter die aktuelle Hawaii-Siegerin Miranda Carfrae. Ähnlich wie die Männer schob sie, die am Sonntag ihr erstes Langdistanzrennen überhaupt in Europa bestreitet, bei der Pressekonferenz die Favoritenrolle beiseite. "Ich bin hier ein Rookie", sagte die in den USA lebende Australierin. Understatement einer Ausnahmeathletin oder aber Respekt vor einer neuen Herausforderung?

Die Konkurrenz ist so groß wie sonst nur in Hawaii. Die Britin Rachel Joyce will das nachholen, was sie im Vorjahr krankheitsbedingt verpasst hat. Caroline Steffen will mit neuem Trainer (Chris McCormack!) dort anknüpfen, wo sie vergangenes Jahr aufgehört hat - mit einem Sieg. Und Yvonne van Vlerken ist trotz Schulterverletzung, die sie beim Kraulen behindert, optimistisch wie selten zuvor. "Ich war früher schon eine langsame Schwimmerin, jetzt bin ich halt noch ein wenig langsamer im Wasser. Doch das hole ich auf dem Rad und auf der Marathonstrecke wieder heraus. Denn ich kenne hier jedes kleine Loch in der Straße und jeden Stein am Kanal."

Van Vlerken, die Holländerin mit Wohnsitz in Österreich, also gewissermaßen als neue Lokalmatadorin. Einen noch kürzeren Anfahrtsweg hat die Fürtherin Anja Beranek, die die deutschen Fahnen hochhalten soll bei der "größten Geburtstagsparty der Welt", wie es PK-Moderator Tobias Ködel ankündigte.

Der Triathlon in Roth wird schließlich 30 Jahre alt, und dafür fährt TEAMCHALLENGE Großes auf:  3500 Einzelstarter und 650 Staffeln aus 62 Ländern, ein noch größeres Zielstadion (für bis zu 5000 Fans), das (musiksynchrone) größte Feuerwerk aller Zeiten _ und am Ende vielleicht sogar einen Weltrekord. Zu den Startern gehört nämlich auch Schwester Madonna Buder. Wenn die 83-jährige amerikanische Nonne das Ziel erreichen sollte, dann wäre das ein Fall für das Guinness-Buch der Rekorde. Sie wäre die älteste Frau, die jemals einen Langdistanz-Triathlon gefinisht hätte. Für sie ist das kein Himmelfahrtskommando. Mehr als 350 Triathlons hat die Ordensfrau - passend untergebracht im Kloster in Zell bei Hilpoltstein - bereits absolviert, darunter über 50 Langdistanzrennen. Schwester Madonnas Auftritt bei der Pressekonferenz war der erste emotionale Höhepunkt an einem an Emotionen bestimmt nicht armen Wochenende.

Emotional verspricht der Tag auch für einen zu werden, der in den vergangenen Jahren als Renn-Direktor fungiert hat  TEAMCHALLENGE -Chef Felix Walchshöfer gehört am Sonntag nicht zu den 5700 Helfern, sondern ausnahmsweise zu den 5500 Athleten. "Ich hoffe, ich kann es genießen", so Walchshöfer, der aber in der Pressekonferenz noch Zeit fand, das jüngste Kind der Challenge-Familie zu begrüßen. Der traditionsreiche Stadt-Triathlon von Heilbronn findet im nächsten Jahr erstmals unter dem Challenge-Label statt.
