Taylor Knibb secured her second middle distance world title in dominating fashion at the 2023 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in Lahti, Finland after the American broke away on the bike and never looked back.

Great Britain’s Kat Matthews put together a brilliant run split to come through the field for second, as Switzerland’s Imogen Simmonds capped off a memorable August with a third place finish, her first medal at a world championships in over four years after last finishing on the podium in Nice.

Rounding out the Top 5, last year’s medalists finishers Emma Pallant-Browne and Paula Findlay were fourth and fifth respectively, as the pair just lacked that extra gear to secure a second consecutive world championship podium.
