Daniela Ryf is Number One – #F1

39 Women on the final Pro Start List for Kona 2018

With ten days to go until the 2018 IRONMAN World Championship (brought to you by Amazon), the final bib lists have been issued for the Men’s and Women’s Pro set for sporting battle from Dig Me Beach in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Unlike in recent years (or ever?), both the male and female defending champions will wear #1, with the Pro numbers having the ‘M’ and ‘F’ annotation respectively.

Winner for the past three seasons, Daniela Ryf (F1) will return as the odds-on favourite to add a fourth consecutive IRONMAN World Championship – having won a fourth IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title in the last five seasons last month in Port Elizabeth.

Second to Daniela last year in Hawaii (and in Port Elizabeth), Lucy Charles heads an entry of five British Pro female athletes and will be joined by Susie Cheetham (6th in both 2015 and 2017), Laura Siddall (15th last year), Corinne Abraham (11th in 2014, 16th in 2017) and Emma Pallant (Kona debut).
