Asia TO Development Program (2023/Miyazaki)
On the occasion of the World Triathlon Cup Miyazaki scheduled for Oct 28-29, 2023, the Japan Triathlon Union will organize the TO Development Program for the Asian Triathlon Family. The Program will invite certified international TOs to not only experience the preparations of the event venue, scheduling and risk management but also observe the actual operations on the day of the event; it is intended to boost the technical officials (TOs) to the next level.
JTU organized the TO Development Program in Miyazaki last October, and this year in conjunction with the Asia Triathlon Cup Osaka in May. The TOs experienced Japanese event operations through participating in competition operations, and they took home and utilized the knowledge they gained. Furthermore, through information exchange and discussion, we received suggestions from the participating TOs on how to improve certain aspects of competition operation. Thanks to such suggestions, we are already working toward making improvements.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. If you are interested in participating, please check the details below and apply by Oct 5 (Thu).
