Are you Australia's next triathlon champion? – Introducing eTID.

eTID is an online self identification tool which has been developed by the ASC National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) program to assist in the identification process of talented athletes.

This interactive website allows users to enter in results for a series of simple 'home based' performance tests and measurements which can be used to help identify athletes for selection in NTID development programs.

eTID aims to provide a significantly improved service to the general public in terms of provision of physical screening opportunities.

Accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime, this website provides opportunities for aspiring or current athletes and even former elite athletes looking to start a new sport.

The General Tests section caters for would-be champions aged 12-25 whilst the Sports Specific and Elite Athlete sections will consider athletic hopefuls up to the age of 29.

Register your results online today and give yourself the chance to be first in line for sporting success. www.ausport.gov.au/etid
