Congratulations to Taylor Knibb for her victory in Kona at the 2026 Ironman World Championships. We’ve been predicting this victory for years now. After challenging past championship races she survived a race that saw for champions Lucy Charles Barkley bow out and Solveig Lovseth falter 2k from the finish. Her splits were 52:55 for 2.4 mile swim, 4:40:07 for 112 mile bike ride, and 2:57:46 for her marathon. Incredible. Bravo to all the finishers. Special shout out to Lovseth for gritting it out and finishing 8th. I love that the race has both the men and the women racing together again.
