It is the showdown that we have all been waiting for. This weekend, the best long course women in the world will go head-to-head at one of the most iconic race venues in the sport at Challenge Roth.

Featuring all three of the last IRONMAN World Champions, plus a number of other big names, the professional women’s race has been billed as one of the most competitive races of the season so far and judging by all the talk in race week, it looks set to live up to the hype.

Leading the lineup in the women’s race is Anne Haug of Germany, who having won the last two editions of this race, looks on track to earn a third straight title and stretch her unbeaten run so far this season to four races.

Alongside Haug in Bavaria are both of last year’s IRONMAN World Champions. Despite mixed starts to the season, Daniela Ryf, who won in St George and Chelsea Sodaro, who won in Kona, will fancy their chances on Sunday.
