The race organizing committee of Credit Suisse Powerman Zofingen have agreed that the ITU Duathlon World Cup Final should proceed as scheduled on September 22nd and 23rd, despite the tragic events in the United States last week.

Powerman Duathlon races are held around the globe. Athletes from over 30 countries will compete in Zofingen peacefully and set a mark of unified friendship. The "Spirit of Powerman" is based on the concept that with enough courage, skill and hard work, great things can be achieved.

At Zofingen 2001 the Swiss trio of long distance duathlon world champion, Karin Thurig, former Zofingen winner, Olivier Bernhard and Daniel Keller are among the favourites. Others expected to perform well are the just crowned short distance world champion, Erika Csomor (HUN) and Felix Martinez (ESP).
