"

"In this 2012 we have planned with the program" Madrid Olympic Community "to reach 40 schools distributed in the Community of Madrid thus approaching more than 2.000 children to let them know about this sport, they are our future"

For David García, Director of Competitions, "Thanks to the online registration program developed as well as licenses with payment tpv, we have been able to greatly streamline the management of administrative tasks, without the need to incur an additional expense of hiring personnel for these tasks and thus being able to assign part of the budget to clubs and competition organizers, which has given us the possibility of continuing to grow, support the various bodies that make up this federation and consolidate our department as a benchmark in management model. "

For Virginia Sanz, General Secretary, "The work of recent years has been based on laying the foundations of a solid foundation for stable federative growth."

"We have a quarry of triathletes in younger ages who have achieved great results at the national level and who are the future of our sport, the ability to manage large volumes of work thanks to the development of various computer applications, a large number of competitions at the national level. autonomy that place us at the head as well as a great repercussion in the media thanks to the work carried out by our own press office in search of giving the greatest repercussion to our athletes and clubs and that also helps us in the search for new sponsorship agreements and collaboration to guarantee a growth base due to the reduction (55% in the last three years by the Community of Madrid and total disappearance by the Madrid City Council) of public subsidies.
