In October 2020, ITU was officially rebranded as World Triathlon in order to better represent the global triathlon family at ever y level of the sport.
In 2021, several events around the world will comprise the World Triathlon Championship Series, attracting the finest athletes on the planet who have to excel in all three disciplines and efficiently transition from one discipline to the next. It is essential that each competitor is prepared to explore the limits of human per formance if they want medal-winning success. Maurice Lacroix will join these elite athletes every step of the way, often competing in great cities around the globe, clearly motivated and continuously striving for glory.
“It is an honour for Maurice Lacroix to be the Official Timekeeper of the World Triathlon Championship Series for the next two years," explained Stéphane Waser, Managing Director of the Swiss brand. "We have always recognised the importance of being ambitious and focussed, traits we embrace in our company and share in common with these highly competitive athletes. The events will take place in a number of fascinating cities, upholding our company’s desire to associate the Maurice Lacroix brand with the vitality of urban life in the long term. Prior to each event, every competitor has spent many hours training and honing their skills in each of the disciplines. Likewise, we have expended much time and effort refining our products, ensuring we deliver iconic design and high perceived value. Similar to the finest athletes, we are innovative and continue to crave more success. It is these shared values which made the World Triathlon Championship Series a logical partner for Maurice Lacroix.”
“We are so pleased to announce that Maurice Lacroix has been appointed the Official Timekeeper of the World Triathlon Championship Series," commented World Triathlon President and IOC member, Marisol Casado. "We are delighted to welcome such a prestigious new par tner to the World Triathlon family and to work with them during such an impor tant Olympic and Paralympic year.”
