It starts at 6.25 a.m., then the women’s Ironman European Championship starts. The men were already in Hamburg this year. Sarah True and Skye Moench are the eyes of most of the women’s race this year. True collapsed less than a kilometer from the finish line in the Frankfurt heat in 2019. Moench, who was actually more than six minutes behind her, won the race as a result.
At the Ironman this year, the two Americans will duel again. Also among the favorites is Daniela Bleymehl from Darmstadt, who won the race last year. In addition, the Swede Sara Svensk and the Norwegian Maja Stage Nielsen are candidates for at least the podium.
The men’s Ironman European Championship took place in Hamburg at the beginning of June – and was overshadowed by the death of one motorcyclist. Only the age groupers compete in Frankfurt.
