Also on the elite men’s start line will be Sam Hart, James Chantler-Mayne, Fynn Batkin, Hugo Miler and Reuben Trotter. Katie Rodda will represent Great Britain in the elite women’s race, with both the men’s and women’s events raced over the sprint distance.

2022 IRONMAN World Championships Kona (6-8 October)

After Lucy Charles-Barclay’s silver medal in the women’s pro race on Thursday, it’s now over to the pro men with their IRONMAN World Championship race taking place on Saturday (8 October).

David McNamee and Joe Skipper ensure there’s British intertest on the start line and they have no shortage of experience over the long distance. McNamee is a double IRONMAN world bronze medallist, finishing third in both 2017 and 2018, while 2022 has already seen Skipper break seven hours for the IRONMAN distance during the Sub7 project and comeback to win at IRONMAN Wales last month.

Coverage of the men’s pro race will be available online at IRONMAN NOW.

There are also six remaining age groups still to race on Saturday with a number of top-10 finishes for British age group athletes on the first day of racing on Thursday.
