KPR Situation
Male Race Participants
Jeff Symonds is already safe for Kona, but there are a handful of athletes looking for more points to get a July Kona slot. A good number to shoot for is Terenzo Bozzone’s 3.850 points.
- Luke Bell (3.665 – just needs a few more points, a 7th will probably be enough)
- Paul Ambrose (3.095 – needs a podium finish)
- Kyle Buckingham (2.665 – needs second place finish)
- Matthew Russell (2.440), Barrett Brandon (2.320) and Viktor Zyemtsev (1.980) probably need a win
Female Race Participants
There are two athletes that can get a July slot with a good result:
- Caitlin Snow (3.735 but already three IMs, needs a third place finish)
- Laurel Wassner (3.580 – needs a third place finish)
Winning Odds
Male Race Participants
Jeff Symonds is the favorite to win his home IM:
- Jeff Symonds: 36% (2-1)
- Justin Daerr: 13% (7-1)
- Maik Twelsiek: 11% (8-1)
- Paul Ambrose: 8% (11-1)
- Viktor Zyemtsev: 8% (11-1)
- Kyle Buckingham: 8% (11-1)
- Dougal Allan: 6% (15-1)
- Chris McDonald: 4% (22-1)
- Luke Bell: 3% (36-1)
- Matthew Russell: 2% (53-1)
Female Race Participants
With Mary Beth Ellis, Beth Gerdes and Amanda Stevens a lot of the top contenders on paper are probably not starting in Whistler, I’ve put them (in brackets) in the list of participants and in the odds. Leaving them aside, Liz Lyles is the favorite on the female side:
- (Mary Beth Ellis: 27% (3-1))
- Elizabeth Lyles: 21% (4-1)
- (Beth Gerdes: 18% (5-1))
- Caitlin Snow: 14% (6-1)
- Danielle Mack: 14% (6-1)
- (Amanda Stevens: 2% (46-1))
