The Professional Triathletes Organisation will be paying in full the \u20ac21,000 in professional prize money it had committed at <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>DAVOS<\/em>, with the amount being shared equally among all professionals who attended the event. In the spirit of unity with age grouper colleagues in these difficult times, <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>FAMILY <\/em>will be applying the \u20ac19,000 it had allocated to the professional prize purse to offer significantly reduced entry fees for next year\u2019s race to all age grouper athletes who incurred the long hours of training and expenses to be alongside the professionals at the <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>DAVOS <\/em>2020 start line.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Adamo, Executive Chairman of the PTO, commented, \u201cWe share in the disappointment of the cancellation of <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>DAVOS<\/em>. After what has been a difficult year, we were all looking forward to being inspired by both professionals and age groupers as they were prepared to put on display the resolve and resilience that is synonymous with our sport. We are very grateful to the <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>DAVOS <\/em>Team, who at great expense worked relentlessly to keep the race on the calendar in the face of all the Covid-19 restrictions. To see it foiled on race day by inclement weather is bitterly disappointing to the entire local team and all the volunteers who devoted their time and effort to make the race a possibility. We are pleased that the PTO and <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>FAMILY <\/em>were able to work together so that both professionals and age groupers are treated with respect and integrity when the event was forced to be cancelled by circumstances outside everyone\u2019s control. While we know our PTO Professionals have had little opportunity to race and earn income this year, we appreciate all the training and expense that age groupers had to incur to get to the start line at <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>DAVOS <\/em>and it is a tribute to the unique comradery between\u00a0 age groupers and professionals in triathlon that we support one another, particularly in the unprecedented difficulties everyone has faced this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jort Vlam, Chief Executive Officer of <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>FAMILY<\/em>, noted, \u201cOf course it was a big disappointment for us to see the iconic <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>DAVOS <\/em>race cancelled due to bad weather, particularly as it was our first race in over six months because of Covid-19. We are very grateful for all the supportive messages we received from professionals and age groupers alike, and for their understanding that athlete safety must always come first. We are pleased to have worked together with the PTO to support both professionals and age groupers. For <em><strong>CHALLENGE<\/strong>FAMILY<\/em>, professionals and age groupers together form our triathlon family. It goes without saying that <em>\u201cFamily\u201d<\/em> is the most important reality for us, and we will always do everything within our power to support our Family in difficult times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Professional Triathletes Organisation and CHALLENGEFAMILY today announced that they will be supporting both the professional and age grouper athletes at the recently cancelled CHALLENGEDAVOS race.
