FROM TRIATLON TO DUATLON
The triathlon competition was changed to a duathlon format due to climatic issues, according to what the Organizing Committee reported. The decision was made jointly by the South American Sports Organization (ODESUR), the South American Triathlon Confederation and the Rosario 2022 Organizing Committee due to the low water temperatures of the Parque Independencia Lake in the morning hours.
For that reason, the women’s and men’s sprint competition, which was going to be a 400-meter swim, 11-kilometer bike ride and a 2,700-meter run, will finally be a bike and run. The same will happen with the mixed relay competition.
