The Ironman 70.3 Hradec Králové in 2025 delivered both close finishes and dominating performances.
Men's Race, Winner Michele Bortolamedi (Italy) led out of the water and held on to his lead throughout the bike, working with a small group of breakaway companions. Driesen's Charge, Known for his strong run, Joran Driesen (Belgium) steadily chipped away at Bortolamedi's lead during the half-marathon. He ultimately surged into second place, but Bortolamedi's early efforts proved just enough to secure the win by a narrow 31-second margin. Damien Le Mesager (France) secured the third spot.
Women's Race, Winner: Bianca Bogen (Germany) Untouchable from the start: Bogen was level with Rebecca Clarke (New Zealand) out of the swim. Dominant Performance:, She quickly took control on the bike, establishing a 5:39 lead by the time she reached T2. Bogen continued to extend her lead on the run, securing a decisive victory across all three disciplines. Lisa-Maria Dornauer (Austria) and Sarah Schönfelder (Germany) completed the podium.
