ITU is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the company Tecta-PDS for delivering fast and reliable microbiological water quality tests in ITU sanctioned events. This portable laboratory, already implemented in the 2019 ITU World Triathlon Olympic Qualification Event in Tokyo, allows the ITU staff to obtain results of E-Coli and Enterococci bacteria in the body of water tested in less than 12 hours.
国际电联高兴地宣布与Tecta-PDS公司的合作，在国际电联批准的活动中提供快速可靠的微生物水质检测。它的便携检测产品已经在2019年东京国际电联世界铁人三项奥运会资格赛中投入使用，可以让电联工作人员在不到12小时的时间内获得水中大肠杆菌和肠球菌的检测结果。

“For ITU, the health and safety of our athletes is our first priority, but also is a priority our commitment with the clean environments, sustainability and legacy wherever we go, and with this partnership we show once again that we are not only talking, we are taking actions”, said ITU President and IOC member, Marisol Casado. “Partnering with someone that will help us swim in cleaner environments, work with LOCs to improve the water quality everywhere we go and leave that legacy to the host cities is something of paramount importance not only for our organization, but also should be a priority for all, to do our contribution to make the world a better and cleaner place”, she said.
“对国际电联来说，无论在哪里，运动员的健康和安全都是首要任务，也是我们对清洁环境、可持续性和遗产的承诺，这种伙伴关系再次表明，我们不仅在说，也正在做。”国际电联主席兼国际奥委会委员Marisol Casado说：“与能够帮助我们在更清洁的环境中游泳的人合作，与当地人合作改善所到地方的水质，并将这些遗产留给主办城市，这不仅对我们的组织至关重要，而且应该是所有人的首要任务，为使世界变得更美好、更清洁做出我们的贡献。”
“For us, partnering with TECTA means that we are able to have results of the water quality tests in such a short period of time allows the Technical team on site to take decisions in the last minute, always according to the quality of the body of water”, said ITU Sports Director, Gergely Markus.
“对我们来说，与TECTA合作意味着我们能够在非常短的时间内获得水质检测结果，这使得现场的技术团队能够根据水的质量在最后一分钟做出决定，”国际电联体育总监Gergely Markus说。
Working with the portable Tecta Lab in the Tokyo Test Event proved to be decisive for us, giving ITU the ability to take decisions by having the latest data available. The portable lab is really easy and simple to use, and gave the ability to know if the water quality levels were above our threshold within 12 hours. The results were completely reliable, and matched the ones we received from the laboratory used by the LOC, which came 48 hours later.
在东京的检测活动中与TECTA的合作对我们来说是决定性的，这使国际电联能够根据获得的最新数据来做出决定。这款便携式检测产品非常简单易用，能够在12小时内检测到水质是否高于我们的临界值，其结果是完全可靠的，并且与我们在48小时后从实验室得到的结果相吻合。
During the four days of the Test Event, as well as the week before, the ITU Team in Tokyo performed two daily tests of the water at Odaiba Bay. Both the tests performed on the Tecta Laboratory and in the LOC Laboratory showed low levels of E-Coli and Enterococci in the days leading up to the event.
在为期四天的测试活动中以及活动前一周，国际电联在东京的团队每天都要在台场湾进行两次海水测试。在Tecta实验室和当地实验室进行的测试均显示，比赛前几天大肠杆菌和肠球菌的水平较低。
But the Tecta results confirmed the breach of the protective curtain on August 16th/17th, providing valuable data for ITU to take the decision of canceling the swim leg of the Paratriathlon event, as well as the swim familiarization for the Mixed Relay, according to the water quality tests.
但是Tecta的结果显示，8月16日及17日大肠杆菌和肠球菌含量超过了规定值，这为国际电联提供了宝贵的数据，并根据检测结果决定取消铁人三项比赛的游泳比赛，并取消混合接力赛的游泳训练。
The rapid E-Coli results from the portable laboratory proved to be crucial to maintain the health and safety of all athletes, preventing potential illness. The results from the LOC laboratory, which came back 48 hours later, confirmed the ones provided by Tecta.
Tecta快速检测大肠杆菌的结果被证明对维持所有运动员的健康和安全、预防潜在疾病至关重要，而48小时后得到的当地实验室的结果证实了Tecta的检测结果。
“We are thrilled to be partnering with ITU and have the opportunity to help identify issues in the water quickly and effectively, making their events safer for the athletes,” said Tim Adams, EVP of Tecta-PDS.
“我们很高兴能与国际电联合作，并有机会帮助快速有效地发现水中的问题，使比赛对运动员更安全，”Tecta-PDS的执行总裁Tim Adams说。
“Our technology was successful in ensuring the last Commonwealth Games in Australia went on without incident, and we were extremely pleased to be involved with the recent ITU World Triathlon Olympic Qualification Event in Tokyo as well. We truly believe there is not a better, faster or more accurate way to test the water, and we look forward to working closely with the ITU towards maintaining our mission of keeping everyone safe and healthy,” he added.
“我们的技术成功地确保了澳大利亚上届英联邦运动会的顺利进行，我们也非常高兴能参与最近在东京举行的国际电联世界铁人三项奥林匹克资格赛。我们坚信，再没有一种更好、更快或更准确的水质测试方法了。我们期待与国际电联紧密合作，以维护我们的使命，确保所有人的安全和健康。”
