The two-day conference will run on 26-27 November, 2015 in Paris, “the City of Light”, offering participants the chance to explore an iconic city while also learning from the world’s top coaches and sports scientists.

The theme of the 2015 conference is ‘Peaking for Rio, preparing for Tokyo…and beyond’, and represents the scientific lessons that triathlon coaches have applied through the years leading up to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. It will then look at how this research can now be applied to designing the champions of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The line-up of speakers includes world-class coaches Joel Filliol, Sergio Santos, Darren Smith and Jamie Turner along with many other recognized scientists and experts, such as ITU Medical Delegate Chair Sergio Migliorini, sport scientists Dr. Christophe Hausswirth and Dr. Yann Le Meur, as well as renowned physiologists Iñigo Mujika and Paul Laursen.

Topics of the conference include strength training, training load management, nutrition, organisation for high level performance, paratriathlon and training in extreme conditions.

This conference will be hosted at INSEP (National Institut of Sports) in the heart of Vincennes’s Wood, city of Paris. Many of the French Olympic medallists trained there as Judokas Teddy Riner and David Douillet, as well as basketball stars like Tony Parker and Boris Diaw.

In addition to the conference, participants will be treated to a dinner gala that will be hosted on a boat on the Seine River.]]> Triathlon Conference.

The scholarship was created to encourage emerging female coaches to continue their pursuit of coaching careers, an area that has traditionally lacked female representation across sport. While the committee considered a number of standout candidates, Roriguez was chosen for her ability to strongly impact the sport of triathlon in her native country.

“This is a phenomenal example of women empowering women in sports, and of the triathlon community coming together to grow our sport across the world in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork,” said ITU President and IOC Member Marisol Casado. “We need to continue to offer female coaches, athletes, administrators and officials the opportunity to succeed. I am very thankful to the Edmonton LOC for fostering this concept and proud of the ITU Women’s Committee for supporting this opportunity.”

Over the course of two months, Rodriguez lived in Edmonton to work with renowned triathlon coach Kevin Clark of the Edmonton Triathlon Academy to gain valuable insight on training elite triathletes. The scholarship was made possible by a fundraising event held during the Edmonton 2014 Grand Final Breakfast, which was hosted by the ITU Women’s Committee, and raised in excess of $10,000.

“I learned lot and there is still so much more to learn. I learned to plan workouts, as it is completely different to other sports, as well as more about high performance, technical operations and specialization of the three disciplines. I think this time spent in Canada will mark my life in a very positive way. This new knowledge will help me reach my goals, which are to continue training athletes, attract more athletes to compete in this beautiful sport - especially women - and to share these lessons with other trainers in my country,” said Rodriguez.

Antonio Alarco, President of the Americas Triathlon Confederation (CAMTRI) said the following:
“There is no limit to what women can achieve when given the chance to fulfill their dreams. This project should be copied in different countries and confederations with one objective: gender equity.”]]>

Shaikh Nasser recently welcomed IRONMAN Chief Executive Officer Andrew Messick and IRONMAN Europe, Middle East and Africa Chief Executive Officer Thomas Dieckhoff to Bahrain. Shaikh Nasser affirmed the importance of hosting the championship to the Kingdom of Bahrain following the successful sporting events that Bahrain has previously hosted.

He expressed his expectation that the launch of the IRONMAN 70.3 Middle East Championship will dramatically improve the quality of races in Bahrain, proving a world class experience unlike any previous race in the region.

“Our new races in Bahrain and Dubai should be considered the beginning of a movement. IRONMAN is not just a series of races but a lifestyle. Our collaboration with The Bahrain Triathlon Association for the first two IRONMAN 70.3 races in the region is an excellent way to kick start this movement to promote the sport of triathlon and a healthy lifestyle,” Dieckhoff said.

During their stay in Bahrain the IRONMAN delegation also reviewed and agreed upon the race course with the Bahrain Triathlon Association and the local organizational team. The race will also be officially endorsed by the Bahrain Triathlon Association and their athletes.]]>
