Predictions and where and how to watch 2016 IRONMAN Hawaii Triathlon - weather will factor in as always!

As every year since 1998 a brief and crisp outlook and guess on the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship race. So, who is gonna win, based on last years Kona performance and overall progress the last 12 months? Putting  controversial race marshall judging or mysterious technical issues right in or out of T1 aside all eyes are for sure on Mirinda Carfrae and Daniela Ryf as well as Sebastian Kienle and Jan Frodeno. Looking up into the Kona sky, one could wonder, if we'll see similar conditions as in 2006. Cloud, very mild temperatures down to 79°F and fair not strong Mumuku winds. If this will happen, Ironman Hawaii 2016 could be the sub8 hours men's winning performance and the day of the big and heavier athletes and fast runs cross the board to shine.

Billard and Hauschildt claim first ITU Long Distance WorldChampionships titles in Belfort, France

Both France's Bertrand Billard and Australia's Melissa Hauschildt (AUS) claimed their first ever ITU Long Distance World Championship titles on Saturday in Belfort, France. Billard's win was a treat for local French fans, while Hauschildt's gold came as a surprise as it was her first time ever competing in an ITU Long Distance race. The adverse weather conditions resulted in the format being altered before the race, with the swim omitted and the course reverting to a 9.5km run, 87km bike and 20km run.    

Women's Review 

Melissa Hauschildt (AUS) clawed back a three-minute deficit going into the final 20km run with a superb performance to become the 2013 ITU Long Distance world champion in Belfort on Saturday.

Hauschildt's time of four hours, 42 minutes and 39 seconds denied Camilla Pedersen (DEN) victory, who has to settle for world championship silver medal for the second year running.
Hauschildt was the early pace setter, clocking a time of 35:19 for the first 9.5km run. But with harsh conditions forecast she took a long first transition to add extra clothing, which allowed Pedersen to take the lead.  

It looked like it would prove to be a costly decision as Pedersen led until the second lap of the 20km run. But Hauschildt fought back in the final stages and finished in 4:44:15, 1 minute and 36 seconds ahead of Pedersen.

Rachel McBride (CAN) claimed bronze in 4:52:03, finishing just 13 seconds ahead of Jeanne Collonge (FRA) and preventing France from having a world championship medallist in the women's elite race.

Men's Review  

Billard delighted locals in Belfort by storming to victory to claim gold in four hours, eight minutes and 45 seconds while Terenzo Bozzone (NZL) won silver in 4:10:43. Dirk Bockel (LUX) repeated his third-place finish in last year's race by ensuring bronze with a time of 4:11:51.   

Billard becomes France's fourth world champion at the long distance format - more than any other nation - and afterwards said his gamble during the Ballon d'Alsace bike climb paid off. "I did not listen to my brother who told me not to go too hard. I took a risk, I attacked the Ballon d'Alsace. I had no pressure on me, it was my first world championship. I was motivated, I thought of my family. Now I want to share it with them."

A fast transition after the bike allowed Bozzone to take second place and the New Zealander then clocked the fastest time for the 20km (1:13:34) to ensure silver medal, with Bockel settling for a second bronze in as many years.

Billard was not about to deny giving the home crowd something to cheer about. With a strong 20km run split of 1:13:53, he ensured his first world championship victory.

Video-Highlights: Abu Dhabi Triathlon 2013, Alistair Brownlee, Frederik Van Lierde und Melissa Hauschildt unschlagbar

Der Abu Dhabi Triathlon 2013 ist Geschichte. Auf der Kurzstrecke zeigte sich Olympiasieger Alistair Brownlee trotz Abkommens von der Radstrecke ähnlich souverän wie der Belgier Frederik Van Lierde, der bereits seinen zweiten Sieg im Wüstenemirat für sich verbuchen konnte und damit seinen 3. Platz bei der Ironman Weltmeisterschaft auf Hawaii einmal mehr bestätigt. Das erwartete Duell zwischen Caroline Steffen und Melissa Hauschildt versprach im Vorfeld Spannung und Positionskämpfe. Das Duell wurde den hohen Ansprüchen gerecht, weil sich beide Triathletinnen am Renntag tatsächlich in den brennenden Asphalt der Wüstenmetropole über beinahe die gesamte Distanz des Triathlons einen spannenden Zweikampf lieferten.
