Auckland, the last test of the 2011 World Cup

Ivan Raña, Jose Miguel Perez and Zuriñe Rodriguez; They will try this weekend in Auckland (New Zealand), to secure Olympic qualification points and fight for podium places, although it is going to be a bit difficult battle, with athletes like Vidal (FRA), Docherty (NZL) and Gemmell (NZL ) in the men's race; and Hewitt (NZL) and the Japanese Ueda, Niwata and Adachi in the women's race.

Spain currently has three Olympic places, both in the men's and women's categories; but the fight to maintain places among the countries with options to do so appears exciting, until in May 2012, and at the World Championship Series in Madrid, the Olympic qualification cycle closes.

At the end of October 2012, Auckland will host the Grand Final of the Triathlon World Championship, and therefore the Age Group Triathlon World Championship, ParaTriathlon and Aquathlon will also be held.
