释义 |
Team Volcano, also known as Team Volcano International or TVI, was a multi-sport team prominent in the mid to late 1990s. The team, founded by Chris Eversfield and Iain Parsons in 1995, was the first non-geographic Triathlon team (other than from the British Military and Emergency services) to be fully affiliated to the sport's governing body, the British Triathlon Association. The team pioneered the use of digital communication and the emerging Internet to communicate with its network of athletes.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} Team Volcano attracted many international athletes during its most active years including many guest-event athletes. Notable athletes who have raced for or represented Team Volcano during its time include:
Many athletes were long course or Ironman focused although the team has success in Spring and Middle Distance events. The team was founded in Lanzarote and named after the famous Volcano Triathlon. Team Volcano ceased to exist formally in 2001 although certain members of the team continued racing unofficially under the TVI banner for a number of seasons afterwards.
