Course Conditions
For the first time since 2018, IM South Africa was able to go ahead with a normal swim. Overall conditions have been quite slow (adjustment of -5:03), even for the tough South African standard (new course Rating 2:50 – so this year was about 8 minutes slower “than normal”). Nonetheless, there was a new bike course record: Eventual winner Rasmus Svenningsson rode a 4:14:35, improving the old record held by Raynard Tissink from 2011 by five minutes. The course has undergone a few changes since then, but his time was never broken.
Nice and Kona Qualifying
South Africa had four slots each for the men (Kona) and women (Nice). These will be offered to:
- Marta Sanchez, Diede Diederiks, Laura Zimmermann and Susie Cheetham for the women
and - Rasmus Svenningsson, Mathias Petersen, Cameron Wurf and Leonard Arnold for the men.
In addition, Daniela Ryf validated her AQ slot, and Marlene De Boer already had a slot from IM Cozumel. You can find the full list of 2024 qualifiers here.
