Aussie Tim Reed had a superb 2016 season highlighted by a win at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in Australia. Reed then went on to Kona where unfortunately the wheels came off.

Lots of fireworks on the marathon - Patrick Lange of Germany broke Mark Allen’s 26-year-old run mark and Daniela Ryf broke her Kona run PR by 9:46 with a 2:56:51 split.

The fabulous day of Patrick Lange

Patrick Lange stormed to a third place finish during his first attempt at the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, but we can likely expect more fabulous days.

Frodeno’s rare Kona double

After becoming the first man to win Olympic gold and the Ironman World Championship, Jan Frodeno discovered that a Kona repeat is tougher still.

The finish line at the Ironman World Championship in Kona is filled with exultation and exhaustion, pride and humility, and above all, relief.

Ryf is ready to rumble

With top rival Mirinda Carfrae in full health and at top speed, Daniela Ryf is fully recovered from over-racing exhaustion and ready for a duel for the ages.

Frodo and Sebi

Jan Frodeno and fellow German Sebastian Kienle are strong rivals and good friends - and they will likely duel to break a 1-1 tie in Kona victories.
