Ironman Hawaii in the live ticker
1.30 p.m.: Before starting has Patrick Lange criticized the new format at Ironman Hawaii. The organizer is allowing twice the number of participants this year following the 2021 and 2022 races were cancelled. “I thought regarding it for a long time, but I found more and more negative factors for the doubling,” Lange told the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”.
Thus, more than 5000 participants instead of regarding 2500 participants are at the start. “If you look at how prices have been doing here in Kona, if you look at the incredible traffic that is here a week before the start, it just can’t be good to hold this event over two days.”
Before the race on Saturday (6:25 p.m.), Lange is holding back as usual. “I’m just not the character with full-bodied announcements and declarations of war. That’s not me. And it’s really difficult for me to position myself once morest the others. All I know is that I’ve won the race twice and I’m not hiding must. I’ve already proven that I can win in Hawaii. Others have yet to do that,” said Lange in the “Welt”.
Ironman Hawaii: Jan Frodeno is missing due to hip inflammation
1 p.m.: Two-time Ironman Champion Jan Frodeno won’t be there this year. The winner of 2015, 2016 and 2019 suffers from hip inflammation. He wants to end his career in 2023. “I hope that the whole thing will take a turn here,” Frodeno explained to the “world”.
“Of course you can talk yourself into something nice, and you have to do that. But for me it’s like that I basically work with ups and downs. I don’t even know how many comebacks I’ve had, but it’s my big and solid one Aim to have another one.” He would most like to “conjure up a really, really big race out of his sleeve. Because it hurts my soul.”

Ironman Hawaii: Last start for Sebastian Kienle
12.30 p.m .: Sebastian Kienle (Ironman winner 2014) will compete in Ironman Hawaii for the last time in his career. “I can approach the race quite freely now,” explains the 38-year-old. “But actually that’s not nice either, because it means I’m definitely not in the top favorite position here.”
“But I’m not completely without a chance,” said Kienle in a dpa interview. In 2019 he was third. “There have never been so many athletes who might be said to have a chance of winning the race. I’m still one of them, even if my chance is somewhere around five percent.”
12:00 p.m.: Hello and welcome to the live ticker at Sportsillustrated.de. The men’s race (professionals) starts on October 8 (Saturday) at 6:25 p.m. Next to top favourite Kristian Blummenfelt from Norway is also a two-time Hawaii Champion Patrick Lange (2017 & 2018) am Start.
American Sodaro wins women’s race
The American Chelsea Sodaro has won the Ironman Hawaii. In her first race in Hawaii, the 33-year-old won following 3.86 kilometers of swimming, 180.2 kilometers of cycling and 42.2 kilometers of running ahead of Lucy Charles-Barclay from Great Britain and Anne Haug from Germany.
Laura Philipp, another German, came in fourth. Without the time penalty on the racing bike, Philipp would probably have done even better. For Hawaii winner Sodara it is the most important success in her career. The American became a mother a year and a half ago and, following her baby break in June, competed in a triathlon in Hamburg for the first time.
1st American in 2 decades ????????@ChelseaSodaroyou are incredible! Congratulations on winning the 2022 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship.

Ironman Hawaii: distance and track
The Ironman Hawaii starts on the well-known routes. The triathletes have to swim 3.86 km in the open sea, bike 180.2 km and run 42.195 km. The route goes from the east side of Kailua Pier along the coast. In total, all participants have to climb 1,772 meters before the winners are crowned on Alii Drive.
The Ironman Hawaii is the oldest long-distance triathlon. The first competition took place in 1978. This year the competition will be held over two days for the first time. The equalization is intended to enable a large number of athletes who have not been able to participate in the last two years due to cancellation and postponement.
