World Quadrathlon Federation

We have just experienced a great weekend of racing at the Sprint World Championships in Kaposvár. The Q30 quadrathlon took place as part of the eXtremeMan Triathlon on the Deseda Lake. With temperatures of over 30 degrees, it was again a battle against the heat. The water, at 24 degrees, meant that wetsuits were forbidden. At 11am the athletes set off on the spectator friendly course (1 lap swim, 2 lap bike, 3 lap kayak and 3 lap run). With the usual favourites on the start line again, Tomas Svoboda (CZE), William Peters (BEL) und Ferenc Csima (HUN), the race… Read more »

The swimming start this time was not a mass start. Competitors started in random pairs every 8 seconds. As all the athletes… Read more »

Just one week after the middle distance European Championship race in Tyn, Czech Republic, it was time for the sprint distance race. The race venue this year was the Koberbachtalsperre near Zwickau, Germany.

Immediately after the start William Peters (BEL) tried to get on the feet of Svoboda but could only hold onto him for a short time. However, in doing so, he created a slight gap between… Read more »

The small town Týn, on the river Moldau, was the location for this year’s European Middle Distance Quadrathlon Championships.

Unfortunately the planned competition in Tolna (03.08.) has to be cancelled. The organizer has the permission only for one day and therefore had to reduce the program (also the Quadrathlon). Thanks to the national federation in Hungary could be found quickly a replacement. On 08.9. the World Cup will take place in Tiszafüred. There is already a small but well organized triathlon event taking place, where the Quadrathlon can be well integrated. It is pleasing that it is a middle distance and therefore we have more choice on this distance.
