Despite the incredibly hard work of all involved, The European Triathlon Championships scheduled to take place at the end of August in Tartu Estonia has been cancelled, according to European Triathlon Union.

“The situation in Europe caused by the Covid 19 Pandemic and the growing restrictions on travel to Estonia, we are unable to ensure the equal presence of all competitors and a fair competition for everyone.”

The increasing number of infections around Europe was also seen to present a significantly increased risk that the event might have to be cancelled at a time nearer to the Championships date.

Accordingly, the decision was taken to cancel the Championships before any start lists were produced.
