The competition took place on 29 and 31 July 2022, spread across five events (including two parasport events). [1] [2]
As in the last Games, the event was held over the 'sprint' format, a format that was created for venues and places that cannot fully use the Olympic distance. Therefore, this competition did not award points towards the Olympic and Paralympic classification for Paris 2024. The sprint format consisted of a parcours of half of 'Olympic'/'Standard' distances; a 750 metre swim, a 20 kilometre bike ride and a 5 kilometre run.
The mixed relay was four 'super-sprint' legs of slightly different distances than in 2018 format: a 300 metre swim, a 5 kilometre bike leg and a 2 kilometre run. [3]
In 2022, the paralympic class chosen for the two paratriathlon events was the visually impaired PTVI classifications, replacing the PTWC events (wheelchair at the both men's and women's events from 2018. This means all the legs will be conducted with a sighted guide which also served as the tandem pilot at the cycling leg.
