Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

There is a large number candidates for the win on the men’s side: Terenzo Bozzone has had a couple of great Ironman races in the last years, but he’s still looking for the first title in his home Ironman race. When Joe Skipper is racing well, he’s clearly one of the fastest IM-distance athletes. Braden Currie is back to defend his title from last year, while Cam Brown has always raced well in Taupo and has won IM New Zealand twelve times already. Mike Philips hs only finished two IMs yet, but he’s already gone sub-8 and won last December’s 70.3 Taupo.

  • Terenzo Bozzone: 25% (3-1)
  • Joe Skipper: 21% (4-1)
  • Braden Currie: 18% (5-1)
  • Cameron Brown: 15% (5-1)
  • Mike Phillips: 10% (9-1)
  • Cyril Viennot: 4% (23-1)

Female Race Participants

On the female side, there are two main contender’s for the win: Last year’s winner Jocelyn McCauley and last year’s second place finisher Laura Siddall. Laura is clearly the faster athlete on the bike and is the likely T2 leader, but if Jocelyn manages to run a sub-3 marathon as she did last year, she’ll be hard to beat.

  • Laura Siddall: 46% (1-1)
  • Jocelyn McCauley: 45% (1-1)
  • Jessie Donavan: 6% (15-1)
