Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

My top pick Clemente Alonso recently finished second at IM Arizona, so he may be a DNS. If he doesn’t start, there are (at least) four athletes that  could contend for the win without any clear favorite:

  • Clemente Alonso McKernan: 31% (2-1)
  • Victor Del Corral: 22% (4-1)
  • Michael Weiss: 16% (5-1)
  • Bas Diederen: 14% (6-1)
  • Viktor Zyemtsev: 12% (8-1)
  • Trevor Delsaut: 2% (40-1)
  • Stephen Bayliss: 2% (57-1)

Female Race Participants

There are three big contenders on the women’s side: Michelle Vestry, Diana Riesler and Kelly Williamson. All of them have been racing in the fall with different results: Michelle finished 14th in Kona, Diana won at IM Malaysia, and Kelly finished 19th in Kona. It will be a question of who has the best form on race day …

  • Michelle Vesterby: 31% (2-1)
  • Diana Riesler: 29% (2-1) Diana won’t be racing in Cozumel, she is on the start list for Western Australia
  • Kelly Williamson: 17% (5-1)
  • Jessie Donavan: 7% (13-1)
  • Erika Csomor: 6% (17-1)
  • Celine Schaerer: 5% (18-1)
  • Lucie Reed: 2% (55-1)

An interesting addition to the field is Olympic Champion Nicola Spirig who will do her first IM in Cozumel.
