As I am sure you are all aware, the ITU have submitted the bid for paratriathlon to become a Paralympic sport at the 2016 games.
There are roughly 4-5 weeks to wait until the final decision is made, and as a final push of support the ITU have announced a campaign to show the support to the bid.
Please can I ask you all to do whatever it takes to support this bid, whether it is becoming a fan of the facebook page, or simply passing this email on to as many triathlete’s as you know. Inclusion into the Paralympics is not only a big deal for paratriathletes but for Triathlon as a sport and it would be great to show that the whole triathlon community is on board.
