Lara Lovisi Earns the Blue Jersey for the XTERRA World Championship 2025
An incredible achievement for Lara Lovisi, a rising star in Italian triathlon, who today – Saturday, July 26, 2025 – secured a major milestone: qualification for the 2025 XTERRA World Championship, scheduled for September 28 in Molveno, Trentino, Italy.
Today’s race, XTERRA Italy, is one of the official qualifying events for the XTERRA World Championship. According to international rules, only the top five athletes in each age group earn their spot at the World Championship. Lara finished in 4th place, earning the right to represent Italy wearing the national blue jersey at the most prestigious off-road triathlon event in the world.
This is a huge moment of pride not only for Lara, but also for her coach Stefano Massa, her supportive family, her team, and all the dedicated professionals who work with her daily to enhance her performance. It’s been a true team effort, and it played a vital role in helping Lara approach the challenge with the right mindset, resulting in this outstanding result.
XTERRA Italy: A Test of Endurance and Skill
The XTERRA Italy course is far from easy. A challenging combination of swimming, mountain biking, and trail running on technical terrain requires a perfect balance of strength, strategy, and stamina. Lara approached the race with maturity and determination, confirming her place as one of Italy’s most promising young off-road triathletes.
With this performance, Lara officially joins the international elite of off-road triathlon. The World Championship in Molveno will be a chance to compete against the world’s best athletes and to experience one of the most exciting and scenic events in the global triathlon calendar.
“I’m incredibly proud of Lara, but this is just the beginning. She has so much more to give, and I’m confident that she will give everything she has in Molveno to represent Italy with pride — just like the entire team that works with dedication every day to help her improve.”
— Coach Stefano Massa
