At
a very cordial and successful ITU Congress - following a
superb 2 day Triathlon Conference - The ITU President Les
McDonald was re-elected for another 4 year term. In his
brief acceptance speech he thanked his opponent and 'long
time friend', Dr. Sarah Springman, and echoed her sentiment
and hope that the entire ITU family can continue to successfully
work together in unity.
The
congress delegates all rose to give President McDonald and
his team a standing ovation. Also elected into key positions
on the ITU team were Mr. Chic Igaya (IOC) as vice-president,
Bill Walker as secretary general and Marisol Casada as ITU
treasurer.
