European Triathlon Federation President Marisol Casado has stated that he was pleased with the way the Triathlon Championship was organized in Alanya last Sunday. The Spanish president of the federation, who came to Turkey to watch the European Cup Finals at the 18th International Alanya Triathlon, told the media that Turkey has great potential for triathlons.
Casado also noted that Turkey should attach greater importance to triathlons prior to the 2012 Olympic Games to be held in London. Casado said the Spanish have very much taken to triathlon and that Spanish papers allocate many column inches to the sport. "You can see headlines about triathlons even in football-dominated papers such as Marca and As. Of course, this is partially attributed to the fact that we have a world champion triathlete," he said.
