Thus, Challenge Family aims to offer triathletes greater flexibility to shape their season without having to focus on a global ranking.

In the words of Jort Vlam, CEO of Challenge Family:
“There is a lot of pressure on athletes to choose just one path. While we support the increasing professionalization of sport, we also want to offer them different options, while maintaining their calendar without the risk of sudden changes.”
Jort Vlam He stresses that the World Bonus once helped names like Magnus ditlev, Sam long y Fenella Langridge when they were starting their careers, but believes that it is time to look for a format that benefits all professionals.
