This year, due to the inflation that the United States is suffering, tripling the price of stays, something that most triathletes who want to participate in this world championship are noticing.
We remember that in the World Championship spread U.S. dollar 750.000 in prizes where the winner takes 125.000, the second 65.000 and the third 45.000.
As in all sectors, the world situation with inflation fully affects these great events, where professionals put all their strength into the season.
We will have to see how the situation of the world economy evolves to see if prices drop.
There are no previous results.
