Slovak triathlete Alex Mandák built on his success from last year in Melilla, Spain, once again proving his progress among Europe’s junior triathlon elite. At this year’s Europe Triathlon Sprint and Relay Championships Melilla 2025, held on July 19-20, he competed in two events – the individual sprint triathlon and the mixed relay.

On Saturday, July 19, Alex lined up in the junior category of the individual sprint triathlon. In a highly competitive field, he delivered a determined performance and finished in an excellent 29th place. This result also earned him qualification for the Junior World Championships, which will take place in October 2025 in Wollongong, Australia (wollongongtriathlon.com).

On Sunday, July 20, Alex also represented Slovakia in the junior mixed relay. Together with his teammates, they delivered a well-coordinated team performance, finishing in a solid 12th place.

Strong Motivation for the Season Ahead

“I didn’t quite hit the mark I set for myself, but I’m proud to have secured P29 and a spot at the World Champs in Australia. Time to learn, level up, and go again,” Alex said after the race.

Alex Mandák’s participation confirms that Slovak triathlon has another young athlete with strong international potential. Step by step, he is proving that he possesses not only physical ability, but also the determination and focus needed to reach the world’s top level. His qualification for the World Championships in Australia marks another important milestone on that journey.

Our triathlete Alex took part in a race this weekend in Wels, Austria, where he once again delivered a strong performance. As a long-standing supporter of athletic talent, we at MASAM are proud to stand by him on his journey full of challenges.

The significant progress Alex continues to make is also the result of his collaboration with Eva Piatrikova – an accomplished coach specializing in triathlon, nutrition, and structured training. The impact of their cooperation is evident in Alex’s strong performances and continued progress.

Take a look at the atmosphere of his latest race – the 2025 Junior European Cup in Wels, where Alex achieved an impressive 4th place finish. A great result in a highly competitive international field, where he held his own even among older juniors.

At MASAM, we believe in performance driven by precision – whether in industry or in sport.
We’re proud to support Alex and look forward to standing by him as he continues to strive for exceptional results.
