Ignite the Spark

Celebrating the transformative power of multisport

Ignite the Spark celebrates the resilience, determination and dedication of our multisport community.

From our Olympic and Paralympic athletes to our amateur athletes, corporate partners, donors, race directors, coaches, and clubs, we all play a role in igniting the spark within our communities. The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are just the ignition to reinvigorate and fan the flames of multisport in the United States. We will celebrate the achievements of the 2024 U.S. Olympians and Paralympians before passing the torch to aspiring triathletes dreaming to compete on home soil at Los Angeles 2028.

  • Everyone Has a Story

    While elite athletes take center stage once every four years, age group athletes are the heart of the multisport community. No matter someone's skill level, age, or background, everyone's story of what first sparked their interest in the sport can ignite the same for others.
