A championship is a significant race or competition in which the top athletes compete to determine who is the best in a sport, age category, or region. Championships can be continental, national, or world.
For endurance sports, some of the main examples include the IRONMAN World Championship, ITU World Triathlon Series, and UCI World Championships for cycling. In order to qualify for a championship race, athletes typically must perform well in regional events or accumulate ranking points. For most athletes, it is a significant goal that represents their hard work and training.
