KPR Situation

Female Race Participants

On the women’s side defending champion and race favorite Lucy Gossage is already safe for Kona. I also consider Katja Konschak safe at 4.860 points after finishing second at IM Germany, but she said she wants to be absolutely certain of qualifying and wants to control things herself. Among the others, the following athletes still have a chance for a July slot

  • Tine Deckers (3840), needs a 3rd place
  • Kristin Moeller (3145), needs a 2nd place

Male Race Participants

There are quite a large number of athletes that are still looking to secure a July slot, here’s the result they roughly need:

  • 6th: Michael Raelert
  • 4th: Markus Thomschke
  • 3rd: Harry Wiltshire, Romain Guillaume
  • 2nd: Andrej Vistica, Fabio Carvalho, Kirill Kotshegarov

Winning Odds

Female Race Participants

  • Lucy Gossage: 65% (1-1)
  • Tine Deckers: 16% (5-1)
  • Kristin Moeller: 9% (10-1)
  • Katja Konschak: 9% (10-1)

Male Race Participants

  • Fraser Cartmell: 26% (3-1)
  • Kirill Kotshegarov: 19% (4-1)
  • Romain Guillaume: 17% (5-1)
  • Michael Raelert: 12% (7-1)
  • Andrej Vistica: 10% (9-1)
  • Harry Wiltshire: 6% (15-1)
