Ending the 2025 season among the world’s top-ranked triathletes, we're announcing today that Magnus Ditlev extends his contract with SCOTT for another four years.
Magnus Ditlev will exclusively ride SCOTT bike frames, bike footwear, and Syncros components as he continues to pursue his goal of becoming the first Danish IRONMAN World Champion.
The young Dane made his professional triathlon debut in 2019, starting with middle-distance races before moving into long-distance, quickly demonstrating exceptional talent. Over the years, Magnus has consistently performed at a high level, regularly claiming podiums and victories at nearly every major event.
A standout highlight was undoubtedly his back-to-back wins at Challenge Roth in 2023 and 2024, where he not only secured consecutive victories but also set the course record. In 2024, Magnus also won the inaugural T100 race in Miami, marking a strong start to the season and showcasing his versatility across distances.
On the IRONMAN circuit, Ditlev has added numerous major results to his career, including a victory at IRONMAN South Africa in 2025, where he set both a course and bike record. His performances at the IRONMAN World Championship have also been historic, earning a silver medal in Kona in 2024 — the best result ever by a Dane — following a bronze in 2023.
Thanks to his remarkable consistency and top-level performances across distances and formats, Ditlev is widely regarded as one of the most complete long-distance triathletes of his generation.
"I try to be extremely thorough in everything I do, especially with regards to the bike. There are so many things you can look into. It’s a really hard work and there are definitely No Shortcuts possible if you want to be the best triathlete in the world. I am super excited to continue my journey with SCOTT for the coming years. They really support me and help me in achieving this goal."
