male group

Here are some triathletes to consider competing:

Christian Blumenfeldt: The defending 70.3 world champion is clearly Lahti’s favorite for 2023. Despite Blumenfeldt’s hectic race schedule of late, he has proven to be one of the best triathletes at all distances, however, with such a strong starting roster, accumulated fatigue could take its toll.

Sam Long: Long, known for his prowess on the bike, will look to improve on his 19th-place finish in last year’s championships. Although his swimming often lags behind the leaders, his cycling and running skills allow him to move quickly and compete for first place.

Jason West: He regularly has the fastest race times in the race and has shown that he can compete with the best.

Mathis Magirill: Maguire was little known at the start of the year, but he has shown that he is ready to compete with the best. With two Challenge victories this year and a fourth-place finish at the PTO U.S. Open, Majlier is definitely a contender to watch.

ben canute: Kanoute will be looking to repeat or improve his performance this year after finishing second in the tournament last year. While his recent results have matched his performances at St. George’s, he’s still an athlete to be reckoned with.

Frederick Funk: The young German will be looking to advance this year after finishing fifth in the championship last year.

In this category Spain will have 2 representatives, Gonzalo Fuentes and Jordi Montelavita.
