Ironman Switzerland (Thun) 2021 – Analyzing Results

ThunCourse Conditions

The fast times on this new course have one explanation: Super-quick swim times. So far I have not heard why this cold have been the case and I don’t want to speculate without having any first hand reports.

Kona Qualifying

IM Switzerland was the first qualifying race for the October 2022 race in Kona. There were 2m+2f slots available, these should go to

  • Jan van Berkel
    and
  • Joe Skipper
    on the mens’s side and to
  • Petra Eggenschwiler
    and
  • Kristin Liepold
    on the women’s side.

As a previous Kona winner, female race winner Daniela Ryf receives an Automatic Qualifier slot.
