The World Triathlon (formerly International Triathlon Union, ITU) is the international governing body for
the multi-sport disciplines of triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon and other
nonstandard variations. The ITU is headquartered in North Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. The World Triathlon was founded on April 1,
1989, at the first ITU Congress in Avignon, France.
It was formed in part to give the growing sport of triathlon an official
organizing body and in part to advocate for the entry of triathlon into the
Olympic Games. There are more than 120 affiliated National Federations around
the world.

The ITU has gone through a rebranding process, carried out in 2020,
now being identified as World Triathlon, based on the Branding
Guidelines Documents, and more specifically the Branding guidelines (PDF document) issued in its fourth version in March of 2021.

There was a flag used for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, as described by their flag manual. It used the new logo on a dark blue background; a secondary logo is placed as an background element at the hoist.

This is the ITU (World Triathlon) flag, based on the Flag
Manual of the 2010 Beijing Olympic Games.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual
London 2012 [loc12]) provides recommendations
for flag designs. Each international federation
and international paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag,
including the PMS shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG
produced a 60 x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these
specs may not be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the international
federation and international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.
For ITU: PMS 2955 dark blue, 144 orange, 2955 at 80% light blue. The vertical
flag is simply the horizontal version in 5:3, with the logo in the centre.
