Pro Men

Lining up in Luxembourg this weekend is a whole host of strong European men, with Denmark’s Miki Moerck Taagholt, PTO World #21, the first name on the start list. Taagholt, who recently became a father, will be looking for his first win of the season, after coming up just short last weekend with second at IRONMAN 70.3 Warsaw.

Having finished fourth at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in 2021 and sixth in 2022, this weekend provides another great opportunity for Taagholt to work out what needs improving as the 2023 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships loom closer.

Italian Gregory Barnaby is next up, with the PTO World #30 racing for the first time in 2023, following a successful season last year which included a podium at IRONMAN Israel and a big win at Challenge San Remo, plus fourth at the World Long Distance Championships.

Dutchman Youri Keulen is on the start list and will be looking for his first podium of the year, as will German Jan Stratmann and Frenchman Antony Costes, who have both put themselves in positions for the podium so far this season but been unable to deliver the final product.

IRONMAN 70.3 Davao winner Felipe Azevedo of Portugal is an athlete worth keeping an eye on, as is German Rico Bogen, who recently won IRONMAN 70.3 Kraichgau. Both athletes, having tasted success this season, will be hungry for more in a strong but wide open field.

Finally, Rasmus Svenningsson, the Swede who may well be worthy of an award for one of the hardest trainers in the world, will hope he can translate his form on the streets of Stockholm into a race winning performance. Without a podium since 2021, the 30 year old is due another breakthrough performance.

Prize Money: What’s on the line?

The prize purse on offer this weekend is $25,000 – with the winner collecting $7,500 of the total prize purse.

In addition to money, there will be a total of two qualifying slots for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Finland in late August 2023.

The total funds will be paid eight-deep, as follows:

  1. $7,500
  2. $5,000
  3. $3,750
  4. $3,000
  5. $2,000
  6. $1,500
  7. $1,250
  8. $1,000
