Two puntures in St. George ruins race - Magnus still qualifies for IRONMAN 70.3 Worlds

May 10 - 2025



Two flats, 12th place finish and a slot for IRONMAN 70.3 Worlds in Marbella.


That was the result in St. George for Magnus Ditlev in Saturday's race, where the highly anticipated battle with Lionel Sanders and Sam Long never really happened.


Magnus says:

"Not how I was hoping 70.3 St George would go. I had an amazing swim but unfortunately two punctures on the bike left me on the back foot of the race and I was unable to get back into it physically and mentally after that. Happy that I still finished and somehow managed to claim the last slot for 70.3 Worlds."

"Hats off to Lionel Sanders for an outstanding performance! So bummed that I didn’t get the chance to battle with you as that was something I really had been looking forward to."

On to the next one, the IRONMAN Frankfurt European Championship in Germany in June 30th.
