  • Marco Schreck Beim „Mytos“ Ironman Hawaii
    Marco Schreck beim „Mytos“ Ironman Hawaii Kaliua Kona Hawaii heißt im Oktober das Ziel der Triathleten der ganzen Welt. Einmal dabei sein, beim schönsten, aber wahrscheinlich schwersten Ironman-Triathlon ist der Wunsch den alle Sportler haben die sich dieser Tortur, bestehend aus 3,8 km schwimmen im Pazifik, 180 km Rad fahren und 42 km laufen, stellen. Niemand konnte damals im Jahre 1978 ahnen was daraus einmal werden sollte, als Major John Collins und ein paar Freunde auf der Hawaii Insel Oahu sehen wollten, wer der bessere Sportler sei, der Schwimmer, der Radfahrer oder der Läufer. So machte er schließlich den Vorschlag den besten Sportler in einem Wettkampf zu ermitteln, der alle drei Disziplinen miteinander verbindet. So entstand aus dem 2,4 Meilen Waikiki Rough Water Swim, dem 112 Meilen Oahu Radrennen und dem Honolulu Marathon, der erste Ironman-Wettkampf. Insgesamt 15 Männer fanden sich am Start ein. Nur 12 von ihnen beendeten das Rennen. Der erste Sieger hieß, mit einer Zeit von 11:46 h, Gorden Haller. Später wechselte man auf die größere Insel Big Island, weil sich die Stadt Honolulu aus verkehrstechnischen Gründen nicht besonders gut eignete und die Teilnehmerzahl wuchs und wuchs. An keinem anderen Austragungsort muß man sich bei einem Ironman-Triathlon den elementaren Kräften wie Wasser, Hitze und den gefürchteten „Mumukuwinden“ so intensiv aussetzten wie beim Rennen auf Big Island. Auf der Schwimmstrecke durch den kristallklaren Pazifik macht man Bekanntschaft mit der Dünung des gewaltigen Ozeans. Auf der Radstrecke machen Wind und Hitze zu schaffen und beim abschließenden Marathonlauf sind die Athleten dankbar für jeden Schatten und Kühlung.

  • Analysis of Performances at the 'Ironman Hawaii Triathlon' and Its
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Analysis of performances at the ‘Ironman Hawaii triathlon’ and its qualifier events with respect to nationality Stiefel, M ; Knechtle, B ; Rüst, C A ; Rosemann, T Abstract: The Ironman World Championship in Hawaii is assumed to be the most challenging Ironman triathlon in the world. Athletes intending to compete in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ need to qualify. The aims of this study were (i) to compare the participation of athletes between ‘Ironman Hawaii’ and its qualifier races regarding their origin, and (ii) to compare the top ten performances of selected nations in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ with the top ten performances of the same nations in qualifier races within one year. All finishers in 2010 in both ‘Ironman Hawaii’ and in the qualifier races were analyzed regarding nationality, sexand performance of finishers. For women, a higher percentage (27.2%) finished in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ compared to the qualifiers (18.9%). For men, a higher percentage (81.1%) finished in the qualifiers comparedto ‘Ironman Hawaii’ (72.8%). In both ‘Ironman Hawaii’ and in the qualifiers, most finishers originated from the USA, followed by athletes from Germany and Canada. When the split and overall race times of the top ten finishers of the fastest nations were compared between the qualifiers and ‘Ironman Hawaii’, split and overall races times were faster in both women and men in the qualifiers compared to ‘Ironman Hawaii’. In the qualifiers, the fastest women originated from the USA (551±14 min), followed by athletes from Germany (563±12 min) and Switzerland (574±22 min).

  • World-Champion Speedskater Apolo Ohno Comes out of Retirement to Take on the Biggest Athletic Challenge of His Career
    Contact: Kelly Magnus Office: 312.988.2215 E-mail: [email protected] WORLD-CHAMPION SPEEDSKATER APOLO OHNO COMES OUT OF RETIREMENT TO TAKE ON THE BIGGEST ATHLETIC CHALLENGE OF HIS CAREER Ohno Goes from the Ice to the Lava Fields at the World’s Most Challenging Endurance Race in Mission Apolo: BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK™ WASHINGTON, D.C., (April 22, 2014) – After hanging up his blades four years ago, world-champion speedskating legend Apolo Ohno is making his athletic comeback. This time, the eight-time medalist has teamed up with the BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK campaign to take on a training and recovery journey that will culminate at the world’s most grueling endurance race: the IRONMAN® World Championship triathlon – a 140.6-mile swim-bike-run event in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i. Ohno will be challenged to translate his speed and power to a brand new sport, carrying the torch for football legend Hines Ward who successfully put his athleticism and determination to the test at the iconic race last year. Ohno’s transformational journey will be captured in an eight-episode online documentary series, Mission Apolo: BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK that will show his highs and lows as he builds from short-course competitor to a long-course endurance athlete. Fans will be able to watch Ohno’s inspiring – and entertaining – journey on www.gotchocolatemilk.com and will get an inside look at how building an effective recovery routine, including chocolate milk – the Official Refuel Beverage of some of the most prominent sports organizations and teams in the world including the IRONMAN® triathlon series, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series, USA Hockey and Women’s Ski Jumping USA – plays a critical role in his success.
