World Junior Triathlon Championships with Alex – Wollongong 2025
Alex Mandák is entering the final phase of preparation for the most important race of his season – the World Junior Triathlon Championships, taking place in October 2025 in Wollongong, Australia.
He earned his right to compete at the World Championships at the Europe Triathlon Sprint and Relay Championships in Melilla, Spain, where he placed 29th in a strong field, securing his nomination as the only Slovak junior among the 32 best athletes from across Europe. In addition, he helped the Slovak relay team achieve a 12th-place finish. This result was not only proof of his growing form but also his qualification ticket to the most prestigious junior triathlon event of the year.
Wollongong represents the culmination of Alex’s season and a challenge on a completely new level. The world final will bring together the junior triathlon elite from around the globe. The dramatic course along the Australian coastline, surrounded by rainforest and ocean, will test not only physical endurance but also mental resilience.
Alex enters the preparation phase with a clear goal – to build on the progress made under the guidance of coach Eva Priatriková and deliver a performance that will firmly place him among Europe’s junior triathlon elite.
“I feel great – I’ve trained exactly what I was missing in Melilla. I’m really curious about the experience since it’ll be my first time racing at the World Championships,” says Alex.
Every training session, every nutrition and recovery detail – all efforts have been focused on one goal: to be ready to perform at his best in Wollongong. We wish Alex the best of luck and strong legs as he represents Slovakia among the world’s top junior triathletes.
