Where to watch the World Cup
On the one hand, of course, on site. However, inflation, two years of failure and this year’s mass event have caused prices to rise once more. Ironman itself will broadcast the event LIVE on both days of Ironman World Championship 2022 on Facebook. ZDF shows on Thursday and Saturday from 6.15 p.m. via live stream, the women’s decision on Friday night is reported “sportstudio live” on ZDF from 00.45 a.m. to 03.30 a.m. and the men’s race on Sunday night from 00.25 a.m until 3 a.m.
Remarkable, special, impressive
None of the more than 5,000 starters is younger than 19-year-old Canadian Rachel Welsford. And he’s the oldest: Warren Hill, 82 years old. Qualified following winning his age group – 80-84 years old – at the last Hawaii edition in 2019.
But there is also former Belgian basketball pro Sebastien Bellin, who is over two meters tall and suffered serious leg injuries in the attacks in Brussels in 2016. Or former Super Bowl winner and NFL pro Dallas Clark. Or once more the “Tagesschau” spokesman Thorsten Schröder following successfully qualifying at the European Championships in Frankfurt/Main this year. Or Chris Nikic, who was the first triathlete with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman and now wants to make his Hawaii debut. His motto: get one percent better every day. Or the Brit Sam Holness, 29 years old and autistic, nicknamed “Super Sam”.
