High Performance Program

Effective 2006, Triathlon Manitoba's High Performance Program will provide funding opportunities for our athletes to further develop their performance in two streams:

• Elite High Performance
• Age Group Performance

Elite High Performance funding will apply to athletes competing in these three categories:

• Junior (U19) -- ages 16 to 19, Sprint distance, draft-legal on the bike.
• Under 23 (U23) -- ages 18 to 23, Olympic distance, draft-legal on the bike.
• Elite -- ages 18+, Olympic distance, draft-legal on the bike.

Elite funding opportunities will be available for triathlon, duathlon, long-course triathlon and Ironman events.

Age Group Performance funding will apply to age group athletes in triathlon and duathlon:

• Age Group -- ages 18+ in five-year age groups, Olympic distance, no drafting on the bike.

An age group team selection process has been designed by our Age Group Performance Committee which oversees the age group program and approved by our Board of Directors.

2010 World Championships Teams -- Qualifying information (updated June 5, 2009) by Programs Coordinator, Triathlon Canada 

This year all 2010 Age Group World Championships Team sign-ups will be on-line. Hopefully this will make everyone's job a bit easier.

The process this year is that if an athlete wishes to apply for a spot on the 2010 Age Group World Championships team based on results from your event, they have one week to complete the on-line application. This applies for all athletes who have automatically qualified and those who have not automatically qualified and wish to request a 'rolldown' position. The registration information is now located on our site at http://triathloncanada.com/en/page.ch2?uid=Registration2 .

The Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) form is a document submitted by athletes with asthma to enable them to use “puffers” in competition and training. The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), which governs domestic competition, and the International Triathlon Union, which governs international competition, are two governing bodies that want to have this on file. The TUE form can be found at www.triathlon.org and should be sent into the Triathlon Canada National Office.
