Congratulations to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Triathlon Medal Winners GOLD Emma Snowsill (AUS) and Jan Frodeno (GER) August 2008, ITU Announces New World Championship Series: The new format will consist of six World Championship events plus a Grand Final every year, extending the current single World Championships event into a series. A major feature is the world's best athletes will now consistently race head-to-head. World class venues in internationally renowned cities will be selected to host each World Championship event with guaranteed live international high-definition television offered.
