It is race week in Kona and the temperature and hype is rising as the weekend approaches. A total of 98 Pros are listed with 55 men and 43 women competing for the sport’s most iconic achievement on October 12. Will German domination continue and win a 6th consecutive title? Patrick Lange has won the previous 2, Jan Frodeno was champion in 2015-16, and Sebastian Kienle in 2014. Other notables racing in the field will be 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist Alistair Brownlee and Uber-biker from Australia Cameron Wurf.
In the Women’s field, can anybody step-up and hold off Daniela Ryf from winning a fifth consecutive World Championship? Can Lucy Charles-Barclay finally break the string of two consecutive runner-up finish?
