The professional men will take on the 2022 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission on Saturday, Oct. 29. The field is led by Norway’s Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt as the heavy favorites. Iden heads to St. George after being crowned the 2022 VinFast IRONMAN World Champion in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i just weeks earlier and the defending IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion. Blummenfelt returns to St. George after earning the 2021 IRONMAN World Champion title this past May. American’s Sam Long and Ben Kanute will look to put together a strong race and capture their first world championship crown. Denmark’s Miki Taagholt and Magnus Ditlev will be a duo of athletes that could be in serious consideration for the title. Additional global contenders will come from Jackson Laundry (CAN) and Eric Lagerstrom (USA), who enters as a dark horse coming in riding some momentum after an impressive win at IRONMAN 70.3 Santa Cruz, along with many more talented professional male triathletes hitting their stride.
