Pro triathlete and cyclist Cameron Wurf has a solid run on his way to a seventh-place finish at the 2024 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona.
Yes, we know it’s early going for the IRONMAN Pro Series with all the world championship events in the fall, but believe it or not we’re nine races in to an 18-race series and, despite having to spend time in the penalty tent at IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman, Cameron Wurf has moved to the top of the standings. There are lots of provisos to go along with that, of course – he’s counting the maximum number of races (five) and no one else in the top five has done more than three. Wurf can definitely add to his points total by scoring another IRONMAN race to bump out some 70.3 points, but it’s a stretch to imagine he can take the overall series. A top finish could be in the cards, though, if he can have a decent performance in Frankfurt and/ or a big day at the worlds in Nice.
For the women Anne Reischmann continues to lead the way, but Kat Matthews isn’t far behind and she hasn’t scored a 70.3 race as of yet. Here’s the current standings after the Eagleman race:

ON Partners with the ITA and AIU
Not sure how we missed this one, but last month On announced partnerships with the International Testing Agency (ITA), which is the agency that works with World Triathlon (and IRONMAN), along with the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), which runs the World Athletics Registered Testing Pool.
“Building on its dedication to a fair and transparent sporting environment, On has partnered with the ITA to provide its triathlon athletes with expanded access to high-level anti-doping controls,” On’s press release stated. “This collaboration builds upon the ITA’s existing work with World Triathlon, allowing for increased inclusion of On’s triathletes in the Registered Testing Pool (RTP) and supplementary testing. This initiative is coupled with access to complementary anti-doping education facilitated through the “On Athlete Compass” program.”
“We applaud On for taking the initiative to ensure its athletes are protected by independent, expert anti-doping programs,” said Benjamin Cohen, the Director General of the ITA. “This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to fostering a clean and fair sporting environment where athletes can compete with confidence.”
IRONMAN Announces New Event in Chile

Athletes will now have a couple of events to choose from in Chile – in addition to the race in Pucon there is now another 70.3 race in Puerto Varas. The inaugural IRONMAN 70.3 Puerto Varas will take place April 12, 2026. The swim takes place in Lake Llanquihue “with views of the iconic Osorno Volcano in the distance.” The “mostly flat” out-and-back bike course circles the lake, with the three-lap run course goes through the city and “Puerto Varas’ Costanera (waterfront).”
A tornado ripped through Puerto Varas in May, damaging more than 250 homes.
“The staging of the new IRONMAN 70.3 Puerto Varas in 2026 becomes even more meaningful to its host community, serving as a beacon to uplift community spirit and stimulate the local economy through tourism, hotel occupancy, and commerce,” IRONMAN wrote in today’s press release.

Supertri has “revealed” the first 11 competitors for this year’s Supertri League and it’s hardly a surprise that reigning Olympic and world champion Cassandre Beaugrand (FRA) highlights the field in search of her first Supertri title.
On the women’s side she’ll be joined by recent WTCS Yokohama champ Jeanne Lehair (LUX), Taylor Spivey (USA), Emma Lombardi (FRA) and Barbara De Koning (NED).
On the men’s side Supertri announced today that Vasco Vilaca (POR) will be taking on Jonathan Brownlee (GBR), Dorian Coninx (FRA), Hugo Milner (GBR), Chase McQueen (USA) and Kenji Nener (JAP).
So far we know of four of the events in the Supertri League this year: Toronto (July 26), Chicago (Aug. 23), Jersey (Sept. 21) and Toulouse (Oct. 5).
