Wereldkampioenschappen triatlon 2012
Het ITU wereldkampioenschap triatlon 2012 was een serie van acht triatlonwedstrijden op de olympische afstand (1500 meter zwemmen, 40 kilometer fietsen en 10 kilometer hardlopen), met de Grande Finale van 20 tot en met 22 oktober in Auckland, Nieuw-Zeeland. Op basis van de behaalde punten werd een eindklassement opgemaakt om de uiteindelijke wereldkampioen(e) te bepalen. De Internationale Triatlon Unie stapte in 2009 reeds af van een eendagswedstrijd om de wereldtitel op de olympische afstand. Titelverdedigers waren de Britten Alistair Brownlee (mannen) en Helen Jenkins (vrouwen). Brownlee moest zijn titel afstaan aan zijn broer Jonathan Brownlee, bij de vrouwen ging de eindoverwinning ditmaal naar de Zweedse Lisa Nordén.
