Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

Based on the raw numbers, Marcel Zamora is the favorite – he has won IM France a five times, but he hasn’t raced an Ironman since 2011 and it’s not clear what he is still able to do. He faces a strong contingent of South American athletes such as Ezequiel Morales (winner in 2012), Igor Amorelli (second last year and 13th in Kona), Santiago Ascenso (always racing well in his home race) or Guilherme Manocchio (who placed as high as 2nd in 2011).

  • Marcel Zamora: 43% (1-1)
  • Ezequiel Morales: 22% (3-1)
  • Igor Amorelli: 16% (5-1)
  • Santiago Ascenco: 6% (16-1)
  • Guilherme Manocchio: 5% (18-1)

Female Race Participants

A female Brazilian winner is unlikely – with almost equal chances between American Jessie Donavan (3rd last year and recently 4th in South Africa), Czech/South African Lucie Reed (Zelenkova), Canadian Sara Gross (2nd last year, but coming off a string of DNFs) and Belgian Sofie Goos.

  • Jessie Donavan: 24% (3-1)
  • Lucie Reed: 23% (3-1)
  • Sara Gross: 19% (4-1)
  • Sofie Goos: 18% (4-1)
  • Lisa Roberts: 13% (7-1)
