Can this August get any more stacked when it comes to top-level triathlon fields? Evidently yes with STACKED fields for the 2023 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Lahti, Finland.
We’ve already had the women put on a sensational show on Saturday with a dominant Taylor Knibb retaining her crown with a crushing victory. Next up, Kristian Blummenfelt bids to follow suit by retaining the crown he claimed in 2022.
