Spanish triathlon has announced its five representatives for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

The Spanish Triathlon Federation announced this Thursday the list of five have been selected for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The call is the last step missing to finalize the composition of another Spanish team for the Games.

Antonio Serrat, Roberto Sánchez Mantecón, Alberto González, Miriam Casillas and Anna Godoy sThey will be part of the national team in the French event. They will all participate in the individual test, while Spain also qualified for the mixed relay which will play two women and two of the three classified men.

Spain secured five of the six possible Olympic spots after the qualifying rankings closed on May 27. In total, three gendered qualifiers qualified, a standing that tied Spain among the men as its three representatives were entered the top 30 of the ranking. However, she could not achieve among the girls, with only Miriam Casillas in those positions. So, a maximum of two women qualified in Paris.

The FETRI standard specifies the election by technical criteria of five Spanish representatives. Initially, at the end of 2023, both Antonio Serrat and Miriam Casillas, current leaders of the national team, were nominated for Paris. However, they were asked to prove a state of fitness in the form of concrete results in 2024 to prove their place.

Therefore, with Serrat as a permanent fixture, the last call for the other four parts is missing. Among men, FETRI chose Roberto Sánchez Mantecón and by Alberto Gonzalez, second and third Spanish in ranking. With women, meanwhile, he did it Anna Godoythird Spanish in rank, with Noelia Juan second. The best results achieved by Godoy in the competitions held in 2024 seem to have tipped the balance.
