UA sports already looking to Paris

The Olympic Games, the biggest event in the sports world, will be held in Paris in the last week of July and the first week of August 2024. A maximum of eight athletes training at the University of Alicante will be able to represent Spain at this major event in world sport. Four triathletes have the chance to win one of the places to be determined in the next three world series, which start this Friday in Abu Dhabi. The long list of participants includes Roberto Sánchez Mantecón, Marta Pintanel and David Cantero from Spain and Xisca Tous from Turkey. Roberto and Xisca will now be classified and David and Marta need to take their places. The deadline ends in the last week of May and includes scoring points in Abu Dhabi this week and the Yokohama and Calgliari World Series in May. In each World Series, 55 participants, the best in the world, play for a spot, just like in the Games. Participation in the Games becomes more difficult in high-performance countries such as Spain, where there are a maximum of 5 participants per country in the World Series and 3 participants in the Olympic Games. Mantecón has a pretty consistent three top 10 finishes in the Series in 2023. Cantero was the youngest man in the world to win the World Cup in Valencia last year at the age of 20 and is showing strong global promise by making his World Series debut in Abu Dhabi. Tous has made several top appearances at the 2023 World Cup; This represents a country whose presence is only at the highest level, giving it many options to participate in the tournament. Pintanel is also very young, he had a great season at the World Cup in 2023 and will play his options in 2024.
