Following consultation between World Triathlon, Triathlon Canada, and the event local organising committee in Montreal, Canada, World Triathlon has announced the cancellation of the 2024 World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) and Mixed Relay Series Montreal events, originally scheduled for September 14-15, 2024.
World Triathlon notes that the event has been a regular fixture of the Championship Series since 2017 and will be sadly missed in 2024. The World Triathlon Para Series Montreal on June 29 is not affected by the cancellation, and will go ahead as planned.
As a result of the decision, the World Triathlon Cup Wehai in China, scheduled for September 27, has been upgraded to a WTCS event and will now form the fifth stop of the 2024 series.
With the last minute cancellation of WTCS Abu Dhabi in March, 2024 World Triathlon Championship Series ranking points will be awarded at the four series events of WTCS Yokohama, WTCS Cagliari, WTCS Hamburg and WTCS Weihai, at the Continental Championships, plus the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Championship Finals Torremolinos-Andalucia.
The athletes with the most points achieved at three of those six potential events plus the Championship Finals will become the 2024 World Triathlon champions.
