IM Copenhagen

Course Conditions

Once again, conditions in Copenhagen were quick. With an adjustment of 33:45, this year’s race was about six minutes quicker than the last Pro race in 2021 and about 11 minutes quicker then the new course rating (i.e. average) of 22:29.

We’ve also seen new course records. Most notably, winner Finn Grove-Freese took the overall course records from Cam Wurf (improving by just over eight minutes) and also the run course record which was set back in 2011 by Mats Vittrup (was 2:38, now 2:32). The first four athletes were under the old run course record. Before that, we’ve also seen a new bike course record which was also set by Cam Wurf in 2021 at 4:02. Rasmus Svenningssen was the fastest with a 3:54 but since he ended his run as planned after 10k, this time is not valid for a course record. Instead, the new mark was set by Matthew Palmer with 3:58.

Finn also set a new German fastest time. Some more new national records: Jesper (Sweden), Zack (Great Britain), and Milosz (Poland). (with Nice and Kona coming up, I will take some time to update the national records post.)

Nice Qualifying

Copenhagen offered the final slot for the men’s Ironman World Championships 2025 in Nice. For now, it’s not 100% clear who will get this slot. Both winner Finn Grove-Freese and second.place Mathias Petersen already have their slots. Therefore, 

• Jesper Svensson should be offered the slot, but he has indicated that he might decline,
  in that case
• Zack Cooper will be next in line.

However, this will only be official at the awards ceremony on Monday.

Course Conditions

This year was another super-quick race in Copenhagen – the Top 7 finished under 8 hours, the second highest number of sub-8s behind Tulsa 2021. There were a good number of course records as well: Winner Cam Wurf posted a new overall record (beating the old record by Patrik Nilsson by more than three minutes) and also a new bike course record (his 4:02 broke the 2016 record by Andy Raelert by more than ten minutes). Cam also set a new fastest time for Australia and the continent of Oceania. Before that, there was also a new  swim course record by Lukasz Wojt, erasing the 2011 mark by Stephen Bayliss. The last new record from Copenhagen I’m aware of: Henrik Goesch set a new fastest time for Finland, improving Pauli Kiuru’s time from Roth 1991.

Kona Qualifying

IM Copenhagen offered two Kona Pro slots, these go to:

• Lionel Sanders
  and
• Henrik Goesch.

Race winner Cam Wurf was already qualified (he won IM Italy in September 2019). With the current qualifying rules, these were the last male Kona Pro qualifiers for the February race. The last qualifying race for the female Pros is IM Hamburg next week. The full list of qualifiers can be found here.

Updates:

• August 18th: The startlist on the IM Copenhagen website also lists #58 – Cameron Wurf. He’ll certainly add color to the race, but he’s also already Kona qualified so he won’t factor in the race for the Kona slots.
• August 17th: In the absence of an officially updated startlist, I have added “*FRA*” to the athletes who have raced in Frankfurt and are therefore unlikely to start. However, some could still be chasing a Kona slot, so it’s not certain that they will be a DNS. I have also removed a few *’s from the athletes who were on the Frankfurt list but didn’t race.
