Australia’s Ellie Salthouse is a 26-time IRONMAN 70.3 champion, and her extensive resume includes a win at this year’s 70.3 Sunshine Coast. In addition to her win back home, she had strong finishes at the T100 events in French Riviera and Wollongong, placing fifth and fourth, respectively.
Salthouse seems to be peaking at the perfect time this season, and she enters the 70.3 World Championship in tremendous form. She finished seventh at the 2024 worlds in New Zealand, but she could be a threat for a higher result this year.
