Loreen Barnett - Lifetime Achievement Award
Loreen Barnett’s triathlon story spans decades and continents, from the waters of those earliest races to the meeting rooms of its administrative bodies. The Canadian was there at triathlon’s inception and helped guide it through both its toughest times and its enormous successes, shaping the philosophy of inclusion and equality that are, and forever will remain, the sport’s hallmarks.Starting out in those swashbuckling first swim-bike-run events alongside a mix of adventurous enthusiasts and would-be world champions, Loreen went on to reach the highest echelons of the sport’s administration as Secretary General and then Vice President of triathlon’s world governing body, the then ITU. For three decades she worked with love and dedication for the betterment of triathlon, touching everybody that she has met along the way with her kindness, enthusiasm and firm determination.‘Firsts’ come naturally to pioneers like Loreen, but without such pioneers, triathlon simply would not be where it is today. She competed in Canada’s first triathlon in 1981, she was a founding member of Triathlon Canada, she helped develop the rules and regulations for the sport’s first Olympic appearance.Loreen became Secretary General at the XXI Congress, where Marisol Casado was also voted in as president, together underscoring the crucial role that women have played in our sport since day one. Today, she enters the World Triathlon Hall of Fame where her name will forever stand alongside some of the legends that she worked for and with, helping write the opening chapters of our great history.The 2023 World Triathlon Women’s Committee Award of Excellence award was presented during the World Triathlon Hall of Fame to Saudi Arabia’s Jude Jamjoom for her extraordinary efforts to drive triathlon, gender balance and equality in her region.

Kiriyo Suzuki – Michel Gignoux award
Japan’s Kiriyo Suzuki was introduced to triathlon back in that momentous year of 1989, just as the sport’s governing body was formed. Numerous races and impressive results later, Kiriyo turned to officiating, seeing it as a logical path to giving back to the sport that had given her so much joy.Having first officiated at the 1998 Ishigaki World Cup, Kiriyo has been a central part of the Technical Official programme since the sport’s Olympic debut at Sydney 2000.At that historic event she served as the Assistant Swim Official, a position she also held four years later at Athens 2004. Since that time, Kiriyo-san’s roles have been varied, vital and always with a smile, all reasons why she is one of only two women to have been a part of every Olympic triathlon event on the IF or LOC side to date - most recently at her home Games of Tokyo 2020 - and is now being recognised in the World Triathlon Hall of Fame.As a member of the Japanese Triathlon Union Executive Board, Kiriyo has continued to serve her sport with the kind of dedication and passion that marks out those for whom this is more than swim-bike-run - it is a way of life.

Ivan Raña - World Triathlon Hall of Fame
The great Ivan Raña was the first male superstar of Spanish triathlon. His achievements inspired the population and paved the way for the likes of Javier Gomez and Mario Mola to help Spain become a triathlon powerhouse.Raña won the European Championships Junior title in Funchal, followed by a bronze 2 months later at the Junior World Championships in Montreal.Ivan’s initial taste of top-tier triathlon came while racing as a junior in 1996. The Spaniard struggled for 2 years to find his footing in the sport, but 1999 proved to be the turning point in his career. Those formative results spurred Raña on and he showcased his talent at the elite level with a debut World Cup podium in Cancun, Mexico. This result helped propel Raña onto the historic Olympic triathlon start line at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, where he finished an exceptional 5th place.Raña’s first World Cup win came in Ishigaki, Japan in 2001. He claimed silver at that same event one year later in what would prove to be his best year on the ITU circuit.The highlight was in Cancun where Raña made history and became Spain’s first ever Triathlon World Champion, kick-starting the country’s love affair with the sport. Ever consistent, he followed up with two second-place finishes at the next two World Championships in 2003 and 2004.His second-place finish at the 2004 World Championships was the only time he didn’t win in Funchal – a streak which included his junior European title and both world cups in 2002 and 2003, making this Portuguese city his most successful event on the circuit.Ivan Raña was the complete triathlete and enjoyed a long and very enviable career. He continued to race until 2020 and rewarded his loyal fans to many highlights with his incredible talent over that span of 24 years, underlining just how central the sport was to the life of this incredible three-time Olympian and now World Triathlon Hall-of-Famer.
