Triathlon Mixed Relay accepted into Commonwealth Games programme

The International Triathlon Union (ITU) is delighted to announce that
the Triathlon Mixed Relay has been officially included on the
Commonwealth Games programme starting in 2018, continuing its
phenomenal growth. Today in St. Kitts & Nevis, the 70 member
Commonwealth Games Associations present voted
unanimously in favour of including the Mixed Relay event at the
Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly. The discipline may
also be considered by the Organising Committee for the Glasgow 2014
Games.

ITU had lobbied for inclusion of Triathlon Mixed Relay in its goal to
expand the hugely popular and innovative format of the sport. Today's
inclusion into the Commonwealth Games is seen as a great boost for the
development of the sport across the 71 Commonwealth nations around the
globe. Earlier this year, the format was also accepted onto the
programme of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
