I posted my thoughts on the decreasing interest in World Triathlon events after the first WTCS race in Yokohama a few weeks ago. Now, the best Olympic triathlon athletes in the world are racing in Montreal this weekend (it began yesterday), and there has been ZERO discussion or apparent interest in the ST community. I know there's an "Official (formerly) ITU leading to 2024 discussion" thread here; but, even that has been void of any discussion re: Montreal over the past 24-36 hours.
In addition, Montreal is hosting the Age-Group World Championships, among other events (Juniors, Mixed Relay, etc), and still no interest, no discussion.
Question: thoughts on why this lack of interest/engagement? It used to be quite robust. What does World Triathlon need to do to get more interest from the age-group (and ST) community?
