Ironman premiere, Hamburg podium and Hawaii ticket: Jonas Weller from Ratzeburg took second place in his first Ironman on the Hamburg Rathausmarkt and collapsed at the finish.

Luebeck.The target tape in his hand, Jonas Weller roared his joy with a primal scream on Hamburg’s Rathausmarkt. Fastest Anyone! Insanity. And that at his Ironman premiere, plus the ticket for Hawaii (October 8th) on top. The Ratzeburger, who has already won World Championship silver (U23/light double sculls) as a rower and attracted attention with silver at the Duathlon World Championships in May, fulfilled his dream in 8:32:42 hours.
